Re: Interesting find while walking my dog last night!
Hey cool, a '63 Post car!.
Check the 5'th digit of the Vin if you get a chance...an R-Code indicating the 427 would certainly make this worth something!.  ~ Pete

Re: Interesting find while walking my dog last nig
Cool '63. Its a Galaxie, but not a 500, easy to spot by its single side spear. 500's and XL's had a C shaped dual spear. This was the "upscale" post model, as the base Custom 300 model had no side trim, and 500's got you into hardtops.
VIN's on the cowl, on a tab over on the passenger side. As for 5th digit letter codes, R and Q are 8V and 4V 427's, G and B are 6V and 4V 406's, all would have had stick shifts and no power steering or brakes optional. P is hipo 390, Z is hydraulic lifter 390, X is 352, and C is 289, which came out midyear, like the 427's. There were 260's and 223 6's too, but I'm afraid I haven't committed those letters to memory  Check it out some more, could be something special.

Re: Interesting find while walking my dog last nig
Not there last night but I quickly found it in an adjacent neighborhood. It was too late to knock on the door but I will do that as soon as I can and get some info and pictures. Must be a car guy - he also has a mint older Mercedes 4 door for sale.

Re: Interesting find while walking my dog last nig
Knocked on the door 2x but have not spoken to the owner yet. Got some more pix. It has a very large engine, but is an auto on the column. The missing headlights are to accomodate air intake. There is an additional shifter on the floor w/ a B&M handle so it may be converted to manual or have a manual auto shift. Got a marginal shot of the traction bars.

Re: Interesting find while walking my dog last nig
Also - no VIN on the dash, not sure what is meant by cowl in the post above. Is that the piece directly under the winshield? Does this mean under the hood? I will keep trying to find the owner. Let me know if there are anymore specific questions.
