Original documentation from GM records on these cars does not exist. All we have is the NCRS and 51 years of research by them to document what we believe is correct. I researched my April built 63 for 10 years before I started a complete/total restoration. During that time I located correct part for the car and restored them. ( Starter, Carb, Differential, Heads, etc..). And yet, we still find new information about 63's annually to better clarify what cars were born with.

It was a journey, not work.

I took pictures today the last 2 letters are rf. That means they replaced it with a fuel injection engine. But there basically the same as the 340 hp. Correct? Thanks Zane
RF is a fuelie block stamp
