63
It is not an early car. It is mid- production since 63 we’re starting to be produced around late summer 1962..( I can’t remember if July, Aug or Sept….generally speaking, a casting date of 6 months prior to production is acceptable….but in reality, 1-5 weeks is probably more accurate.

If you locate Volume 2, 63 - 67. There is a good deal of data there that will help you.

I have a complete 1963 300 hp 327 engine that ran great. Pulled the body off the frame to build a resto mod. I will have to check the date code on the block and the VIN number to see if it’s close to yours.
Yes , please show off your car .
