Just picked this up. It's beat, but it's complete.

Are you sure it's not an early 64 S?

JoelH Thu Sep 10, 2015 8:39 pm

Not 100%....

The reason I asked was that it has the "S" trim on both the inside (where it still is) and on the outside. I believe 63's didn't get that. You could also look at the engine, and see if it's dual carbed. Most 62's and 63's had the side marker light above the belt trim line. Also, they used "pin wheel" style drums. your car has the 64-65 style rear drums.

I should have said. ... no motor. I did include a picture of the vin plate. Should be able to tell off they right?

Going off that id number, it was built in late August of 63. The start of the new model year was August 1st. So it's an early 64.

It looks solid but...ouch! :lol: What are your plans?

JoelH Fri Sep 11, 2015 5:22 am

I'm not sure yet. I have another one in a lot better shape that I already have plans for.

Definitely a 64...looks like a nice parts car.

if you decide to part it out i'll buy the fat window molding form you.

JoelH Fri Sep 11, 2015 7:08 pm

I would never part this out. It's still restorable to someone that wants a notch bad enough. ....
