Nice car!
Congrats on the purchase. I have a '63 98 Holiday Sports Sedan that I purchased in 1992. I haven't put huge miles on the car but I have never had a problem with the trans, or with pinging. It runs fine on today's gas.
I noticed in the pictures that your air cleaner has the "Ultra High Compression" decal on it, which if it's original and goes with the motor, means you have the higher compression Starfire motor. My car just has the stock 394 motor, so you might have other issues.
Just some other facts you might find interesting. Your car is a Town Sedan, model 63-3819. It had a base price of $3,982 and wieghed 4,395 pounds. Production of this model was 11,053 units. There was another six window 98, the Luxury Sedan. The easy way to tell the two apart from the outside is that the LS was a pillarless hardtop, while the Town Sedan was a post.
