Get him to shoot you a picture of the vin tag. All but two of the real '63 Cat 2 dr HT sd car vins are in McCarthy's book. Then come back here and give us the vin he gives you.

Tom's post popped up while I was typing. I agree with Tom highly unlikely imo that is a real sd car. It is also an automatic.

So much for the car. It would be interesting to see if he's telling the truth about having an SD engine.

Any ideas what the car would be worth as a 421 non SD car? As it sits....

you would need the PHS to confirm it was a 421 car first,being a auto will reduce the value.Someone could have put the 421 badges on the car at some time of its life.Tom

Try my website for the engine codes
Engine Codes Search by year or engine code or any of the inputs. The 63 engines may have a VIN on them.

You need to put eyes on the engine and check the numbers. Also post pics of the engine.

Tom, were any of the SD cars hardtops? I could have sworn they were posts.

Would anyone have a photo of the page(s) that list the VIN's of the SD cars so that i have it for a reference when i go to look at this car in order to be able to show the seller that it is not a actual SD car? Thanks
