So I've got no pictures yet, but I'm super excited. I found a complete factory stick shift setup for this car, minus the console shifter which I will have to fabricate myself (there were less than 20 '63 console shift cars made). Stickshift '63 Buicks are as rare as they get.

Anyway, once the parts arrive (enroute from the west coast) I've got a little clean up and restoration to do, and then I'm going to be installing a Richmond supersport 5 speed OD trans. This will really make the car come alive - the Dynaflow simply can't put all the Nailhead torque to the ground
