Welcome Adam, Are you sure your engine date code is not 309C01? I don't know about the "s" in front, but the date code above indicates it is an aluminum 196 engine built on September 1, 1962. The "s" could be a mis-strike at the engine plant or where the block was cast. The aluminum blocks were cast by a subcontractor experienced in that sort of work. If so, your car would be an early production 1963 model. Could you give us the body number and production number (bottom number starting E or W) off of the door tag? If you get in to the AMC literature you can find determine the relative "rarety" of your car. --- adam young <adamjyoung70@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have owned a 2 door 1963 Rambler Classic 770 with > a inline 6 for 7 years. > My Father and I found his car, 2 door buick with > nail head engine, and my 63 > classic in a pasture in Iowa for $50 each.
