Don't touch the body...just get it running and drive it as is!.

Get a couple of the Competition Proven By Holman Moody decals to cover the holes and drive it. What a car. What a shame. They honestly don't rust that bad in Nova Scotia and we can taste the salt in the air.

Does anyone know how many R-Code Fords and Mercury big cars were built in '63, '64, and '65?

Is there a publication with the Ford stats?

Thanks,

From Mr. Stefina, who has a '64 R code Merc that runs low, low 13s and a '58 430/400 Merc that's just a tick slower...anyway:

R-code engines in 1963:
3857 R code
1038 Q code
3465 406 w/3x2
1157 406 w/4-barrel

Best as I can tell from talking to him, you can't get exact on production figures, but extrapolate the info via percentages and engine build numbers...so your mileage may vary!

Rob, do you have any contact info for Mr. Stefina? I'd love to talk to him about my '64 R-Code Montclair.
Thanks,
