Lou, I believe the 427 became available to the general buying public in February. Announced in January and orderable by Feb. I'm going from memory on this but I'm looking at an April '63 Hot Rod issue where a Ford eight (8!) page ad spread touts all the engine combination packages available giving special emphasis to the new two versions of the 427, the new HP 289, the Falcon Sprint, etc.
The fastback roof design was made available by January. And as Travis indicated, there were a number of 63 1/2 Galaxies built with what must have been the last of the 406s, both B code 4Vs, 385 horse, and the -G- code tri powers, 405 horse.
This thread, so far...
