Reading between the lines, it sounds like it could have been a 261 cast iron 'glide car. Repowered with a correct vintage 283 & a later aluminum Powerglide.
Strato Chief, the rustic & basic car.
I like it.

I read somewhere that in 1962 the aluminum powerglide was used on the 327 and the 283 used the cast iron powerglide.

That is correct, the 6 also had an ironglide in 62, all were aluminum in 63. Looks like a good $8,000 car.
