I just thought I would point out that this car is a '63 model by VIN # 0194850

Not too many 63 Sunroof Squarebacks around...

I don't know the seller or the car, etc., etc..

Someone recently told me there exists at least one '62 Sunroof Squareback with the early slide-back sunroof, I would love to see some photos.

I was just looking at this car. There a few things that seem off. Why is the the front trunk, dash all white and the rest is red? Even in the engine area is red. If you do a repaint these ussually don't get painted and if they do they are the same color. If you look in the trunk you will also see the brake fluid area from a later call but it still has the early one by the spare tire? I am not just saying the plastic pc look at the metal part that is built into the driver side fender well. Why does the white area end just below the doors?

I am interested in this car but almost seems like it was clipped.

Anyone know this person and give details? I am with in a hour drive but am not sure when I would be able to get over there.

Thanks

Looks like it got a new front clip, including the front vent area and dash. All the way up to the windshield posts. Wonder what part has the 63 vin - nose, pan or the red part?

Hey, that is a very unique squareback. Definitely a classic.

Do I spy a type 1 alternator in there as well? Hmm....what's with the late model dual reservoir and the single reservoir in the trunk? Looks like just the single is functional.

And would that emergency flasher be in an early car? It has a trip odo in it but wouldn't the OG unit have the red needles? Not picking the car apart, but it does look like it has had a few 'mods' done to it though.

Looks like the fenders arent correct either. If you look close you can see bondo marks where the side trim used to be on all 4.

Actually the passanger front looks like it might be an early one from this pic.

This car is how old? and you guys expect it to be all original, god damn, its amazing its still alive period Confused

I talked to the guy today and the red portion is a 68. The pan is 64 as is the front clip. He said it was hit in the rear and he found a donor 68 that was hit in the front. 4 lug was already done when he got the car.

I plan to go look at it in the next day or so.
