Dude, that's a very rare car, indeed

It's a shame we don't have production numbers for these old cars. Vast majority of '63 1/2 S-22s were hardtops & ragtops, not sedans. A lot of them came with 170 cid engines & most came with Merc-O-Matic 2-speed automatic transmissions.

CSRP is a great disc package lots of us have used as well as chockostang.

Nice car !!!!

Welcome aboard! Between asking questions and skimming through build threads, you should be able to find the answers to just about all of your Comet questions. Like Joe said, you've got a pretty rare combination in your car. There were 6303 '63 S-22 sedans built, but I doubt many of those had a 260 V8 and 4 speed. It's a great looking car!
