Well, I believe to have a numbers matching car you have to have the original parts as the VIN was stamped on them to associate them with the car. I am afraid the best you can hope for is period correct. unless you are lucky enough to track down the originals, which would be extremely hard to do if not impossible. I'm not sure but I think this is right.

well, you would have to decode the vin and the data plate. I'm not sure where they are on the '63 but I will look into it and see. if you get a shop manual for it it should have all of the info to decode the numbers and where to find the numbers to decode. sounds like a great project. cheers
