interesting thread for sure. My younger brother is having a 1963 built up in Michigan where he lives. Body off the frame, all new parts, new electrical, 4 wheel disc brakes, 390 CID 335 HP engine, factory four speed, buckets. Should be ready in a few months. He traded in his 1964 Fairlane Thunderbolt with the 427 and tri power.
Holy Crap he traded off a T-Bolt...
yeah, it was just too much for a daily driver. Lots of horsepower, a tricky automatic trans, no amenities. Living in Michigan, it did not do well in ice and snow, and spent half the year in the garage. Boy did it run though.
