Wow did that hit close to home! I grew up in Garden Grove, CA. 1954 to 1975 and worked as a welder at Jardine Headers in the ‘60s. I may have actually made the headers on that car. I remember that dealership well. One of my best friends worked there as a mechanic. The SS Dodges and Plymouth’s of the ‘60s were what started my love for Mopars and that ‘63 with the cross ran 426 wedge was my favorite.

SoCal was THE place to be for car guys back then. The Golden Age of hot-rodding, to be sure.

Just a real heart warming story. The odds of getting it back like that are so slim. A small glimmer of light when so many stories today are dark.
