So I figured I would start a new thread with this car, there is some back story here: http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?51717-1963-330-barn-find about how I find the car, how long it took and how I got the car.
Here is how I found it,
got it home on the trailer,
- - - Updated - - -
Now, in order to purchase the car, I had to sell my '64 polara. but, it had all my 4-speed parts, power brake set up, exhaust, and rearend. So the deal was made, but I had to pull all the parts, and make the 64 rollable.
I kept the rear end for a few reasons:
It already had 11x3 brakes, just redone. it was the newer style housing ('68), it had my 489 case 3:23 sure grip unit, and both cars sat the same level, however, the '63 had home made rear shackles, and the leaf springs where massively de-arched..
so first thing is first, strip all needed parts of the '64 and swap rearends (can't fit both cars in the shop, and there was a truck on the lift already.. )

I need to order new carpet for it, and I am only needing an oil pump for my motor. (still need to find a good one to order) As soon as I get that, I will be putting in the rack, and assembling the car to be a driver.
Leaving it bench seat, will be a 4-speed, and the 360 I have is fresh rebuild, .040 over, with '71 340 X-heads, super comp hedders, an edelbrock performer rpm intake, holley 650, and a mopar purple cam....
