Hi All
I'm trying to find out if anyone might know this car; it's been suggested posting my inquiry in the Reader's Ride Forum might the way to go.
The 1963 car is now in the UK but was originally exported to the US. I was told by the agent I bought if from that he has brought the suspension to a standard height; implying it was lower whilst over there.
He also said the car was within an 'invitation only' group within the GFK club due to its high restoration quality. I don't know want part of the US it was from or any registration plate info.
Hope someone can help - Thanks

Not sure if the link will work but just by coincidence I ran across this clip of the car pulling into the old Nick's DKP get together before The Classic. It's at about 31 seconds. |

Someone kept the push bars, bumper guards and came up on a real set of original earlies and slapped on some stockerooskys. _________________ GFK

The detail inside that trunk area pleases me greatly. _________________ If you can't join them, beat them! |
