I've brought #17340 out into the daylight after a 44-year siesta. It's a coupe, 327/300hp, no power options, silver-blue, dark blue. It's a complete numbers-matching, original car with a 3-spd (since there are less 3-speeds around these days, I'm starting the trend to call them "more valuable" LOL), and a 8879 body tag.
I'm the third owner. The previous owner purchased the car in early 1966.

Thanks for all the time you've spent compiling your list. I've enjoyed scrolling through this thead and have learned a lot.
Cheers, Thomas.

I'm guessing with it's drag race history that it is an NOM engine? What transmission type did/does it have? Hardtop?

Thanks Dom!

Transmission crossmember is welded in,does that mean original manual trans?

My 1963 list stands today at 4,240 cars and yours is just the 51st 3spd I've recorded. According to my numbers Silver Blue is pretty rare as well with just 380 accounted for.
I have Coupe #17,347 listed as being Silver Blue with body #8,882.

Would love to see some pictures of your car
Thanks Thomas!

I doubt either of these cars have been listed before

Thanks for the additional info. If you still have original gauges, what is it's tach redline?

Thanks again Dom

PLEASE NOTE: Since the interest in this subject has caused this thread to become a Sticky, I have added "roadsters" to the title in the interest of the data being collected... thanks!

I just posted a WTB thread for a 63 S/W.

Good luck with your '63 search!
