& VIN: Gulf Blue Vin#0 131 846
BACKGROUND: Jack found this original 63 notch on eBay. The price was
right and Jack won the auction. With help from 1500 Club member Johannes in
Germany, it was shipped to Long Beach harbor. After getting it home, the clean
original notch started to reveal its secrets.
RESTORATION: Mostly original paint and a clean correct interior with
NOS coco mats on the floor. To Jacks surprise were 5 6.00x15 Firestone bias
ply
tires in excellent shape ready to mount. The car runs well but needs some clean-up
and repair to the motor, lower body, brakes and rims. All non-correct items
and general restoration are to be carried out by Jack as soon as possible.
UPDATE (April 2006): Engine has been detailed and fitted with
NOS muffler. Other NOS parts have been located such as door handles, taillight
seals, side markers, and rare rubber bumper guards. Replacing non-original washer
bottle with correct version and push button dash are next on the list to getting
back to the correct specs.
