That's a die cast aluminum block.  Do you have any experience welding aluminum?   I'm a rank amateur welder but I would think you would have difficulty getting a good bond.

I'd start looking for a 63 or 64 Classic or Ambo that's being parted out.  Check craigslist and call the AMC vendors.  Unles you want new glass, then you might want to contact one of the antique glass vendors. PPG has an antique glass subsidiary I think.  I found a used windshield for my 63 Classic wagon so they are out there.

Power tailgate windows are much more common than power windows (in the doors).  Very few AMCs had power windows in 1963.  Again watch craigslist and Ebay.
