i bought one just like it in 1980 for 200 drove it for 10 years never put a penny in it it had a 250 straight 6 traded it for a 16 ft. old town canoe and a mauser 270 custom rifle that car was very good to me just got a 71 gmc pu i want that reliabilety again thanks man
No worries, Dan - and thanks for checking it out! Yours was also an inspiration - and I can't wait to try the de-anodizing trick you posted on MY impala's trim - I can't wait to see how it comes out.
It really was hard to find a nice, not-too-rusty '63 that wasn't over-priced, or 'bounced to death' - and on the East Coast here - the pickin's are even harder. I got really lucky... even if she is just a 6-banger! LOL. Cheers!
That is a nice one! Great find. I am glad you are driving it. It is such a thrill to see an old classic cruising down the road these days, its a plus in our day. And these cars are great drivers, thats why they are still so usable today. 10 yrs ago, I would still see some old original owner driving one of these down the road here in DFW, but that rarely happens now. Thanks for restoring and driving that one.
nice 63.........
