The one my friend bought new I seen the window sticker and build sheet to. The build sheet said light wieght metal front end. He said they actually put a light wieght metal in the dies to make the sheet metal. What amazed me was how much the Super Duty option was.

Actually..I think Larry Swiatek had one new in your area of town...Did you see the build sheet? They usually say ALUMINUM on them...not light weight metal...TJS...I sent you an e-mail..John here is a pic of a repro window sticker for the SD I owned...the build sheet indicated aluminum...Jim M said the steel front or aluminum front had no price differenc...all the money was in the motor !!! This was a loaded aluminum car !!! The original owner was jake Howard who went over the border to a tiny town and picked it up...later went thru some weird stuff and wound up in Michigan. A fellow name Dimitri Toth got ahold of it,he worked at Pontiac...and brought it back to life ...supposedly with the help of George DeLorean and Tom Nell...T-400 was in the car when I got it which alledgedly came out of Mr Unswitchable GTO funny car...I still have the adapter made at GM to install a BOP T-400 to an early Pontiac block...

I thought you bought it from Chip?Tom

Re: 1963 super duty Grand Prix
 

Never heard of him....I think it was a part of a bigger deal and this one was the black sheep of the herd

Re: 1963 super duty Grand Prix
 

the car was bought by Reggie Jackson with a blk 62 SD car.Reggie only wanted the blk car and had his "guy" Chip sell the 63 car.I answered a ad,went down to Newport to see the car and struck a deal,(I thought).I told Chip I would have the founds transfered the next week.I called next week to setup the tranfer and he told me he already sold the car.Found out later it was sold for more than the asking price to someone else.Sorry if I thought that someone else was you.Tom
