      Jim, Very nice exciting fine. You know in the back of my mind I have heard of car #22. Certainly rings a bell. Notice the 38-39 days or so. between casting and assembly. Interesting.
      At first I was confused on the assembly date Jim and then I realized that the 618 was 1962.
      If the car exists the owner should be extremely happy. Thanx, JD

        Jerry's #16 is a red/red convertible. Then Jim said #22 is also a red/red convertible. Neat. JD

          The collection in Florida that the late Jerry Clark looked after had a red/red '63 Pilot convertible, but I don't recall the number.

          Edit: Found it - it's #15.

            The Houston restoration boys had two pilot '63's years ago.
            Can't remember if they had their engines.

              JG:
              If the motor is in Palm Springs, it's likely that the car itself was a SoCal - may call for an alert of the Fab 50's racers, Cal Club newsletters, etc., for an early '63.
