427? Mercury convertible
By Davy Gurley - 06/04/2004 11:17:27 PM; IP 69.6.135.147
I've tried to find a decoder for this vin but haven't had any luck, so I'm turning to you all for some help. A friend has acquired a 63 Merc convertible that was supposed to originally have had a 427 in it. Here are the numbers: VIN 3Z65Y545602; the rest of the plate is as follows; body 76A, color J, trim 95, date 2V, DSO blank, axle 1, trans 1. The buck tag is as follows: M 76A J 95 #1 45-26, and below that is this: EW1-M1-BU3 2.
The car is red, has cast iron headers and a clutch mechanism, but no tranny. It also has a Ford A/C unit mounted under the dash that I think was a dealer installed unit, it looks like the unit used in the cars of that time. The a/c compressor has a C3.. part no. on the tag. The seller said he blew up the 427 and installed a 390 hipo. The valve covers are chrome smoothies and the intake is aluminim. The only thing I can find on the intake is the 'firing order ....' and OJ31 cast into the manifold just above the thermostat, no part number.
This old car is in pretty bad shape (for Texas) but you guys in the rust belt might find it restorable. The top is gone and the interior is rotten. The floors have holes rusted in them about 2-4 in. in diameter. Can anyone help me confirm that this is a 427 car? Any comments are welcomed. Thanks
This thread, so far...
