There is also a date cast into the block on the top rear. Can you locate it and share. It's a bit smaller than the block numbers.
Time to logoff till tomorrow. None of my teams are in as I'm in NH, so go Chiefs!

Zano, you'll prob need to remove the top ignition shield to see the casting date.
Take a flashlight and from above look down right near the distributor. My May car casting date is E63 for an example.

Just found out a dealer in New Jersey called
Malcolm Konner Chevrolet did the work on the car. And that's where the rf engine came from. He told me he had all kind of receipts from that dealer that he got from the gentleman he purchased it from. But moving his mother through them away. Does anyone know if this dealer is still around. And would they have records from 1960s. Thanks Zane

I know everyone is infatuated the history of their car, but there is not much to gain even if they had the records…….which they don’t .
The car, especially as you describe it, will tell you its history, including what engine was originally installed and how many miles have been put on it. These cars all leave visual clues as to their past. It is best if you join NCRS and really study these cars. You will gain much more knowledge than some old papers saying who bought the car…..unless Elvis or Johnny Cash etc….owned it……

Fantastic, now start attending some meets, chapter, regional and eventuality national. Attend judging sessions and find some knowledgeable people….this takes time…there are many different changes in the 63 model year.
