Default Re: 63 Galaxy 427, 2x4

Sigh. From what I can see on the tag, it was origially Champagne(code I) with a Red interior (code 95) delivered to Los Angeles sales district (DSO 71) running a 4 speed (code 5) feeding a 4.11 open rearend (code 9, posi-type diffs were letters). Somewhere in California there's a donor waiting to make this happen. Motor should be checked to make sure its still the 427 and if its seized, you've only got a .020 or .030 overbore possibility, and that's if there's no excessive core shift. Otherwise its sleeves. The main VIN is on the upper left corner of the firewall, right where all those leaves and crap are sitting. I'd make sure that was still intact before proceeding as well. No small task, but its definately more than tags and a title, right?
