i hear ya ironbuilt . my 63 sf gc car was bought here in oakland calif , at melrode plymouth , of the same fame . but it goes deeper , cecil yothers trans guy's mother built my 63 new , and gave it to her son to drive when he turned 16 years old . he learned the tranny game , became yothers tranny guy . and built the 63 into a racer and ran with yother n his gang . my 63 went record in 1973 in ihra with a steel cat n a wild rev'n 383 with a 850 cfm holley at 8k went 10.73 . the car has gone uncharged for the most part , still wish we got that motor with the car . it would have made it have legendary status . but on another note , i do own the rims from tommy grove's melrose missile 1 car when it went to the saltflat in 62 to bonnyville . went 165ish and broke a rim , i bought them for the tires at first , firestone sport speed 6.5x18's in mint condition , oh ya theres five tires one still in the factory bandaid from firestone , they brought an extra tire but no extra rims . here is my 63 sport fury golden commando and those vintage american magnesium rims .
