Picked up my 40th (#159 of 1963) a few months ago. The car had 19,500 miles on the clock. I've put about 3,500 miles on it. It rides a bit rough, but I really enjoy the car. The X-51 motor is awesome. Just added the b&m shifter, clear side markers and muffler hack. Next the power plenum and that is it, I hope. Maybe wheel spacers. The car needs rear tires soon. It has S-O2s thinking about pilot sport rib. Any suggestions?

Congradulations! Well come to the 6speed. I am not sure you want to spend 3k on the PSS9, save the money keep it stock. You can't go wrong with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, I used that on track work great.

Are the 40th ann. wide bodies? like the C4S?

Great car!
