Default 1963 Split Window Fuelie - Frame Off Restored

I'm in the final stages of finishing a full frame off restoration on a Riverside Red on Black '63 SWC Fuelie. All of the restoration work is complete and it is currently being re-assembled. Anticipated completion is ~1 month.

The car can be inspected at the restoration shop in Orange, CA. Various shops have done different aspects of the restoration but everything has been done to very high standards. The injection system was restored by John's FI in Paramount, CA.

All #'s are correct and this car will make a great car to show and drive. The only modification from stock is I added disc brakes to the front (stock drums go with the sale) and reproduction knock offs. I can source and provide correct '63 steel wheels and hubcaps if the new owner would prefer. Power brakes are the only option on the car.

I'll be looking to sell the finished car in the $125k to $150k range. I will negotiate if someone would like it sooner. I can get updated photos or arrange for the car to be inspected at the restoration shop. I've included several photos from various stages of restoration. Interested parties message me or call me at 949-637-8858.

A new 63' fuelie. A lot of effort goes into this kind of a restoration. If the saying "buy the best car you can afford for the $" is true, here is one. GLWTS

Yes, the car is still for sale. Unless sold sooner, it will likely go up for auction after it has been completed and road tested enough for a good shake down!

The car had a replacement block when I purchased it so I sourced a correct date restoration block (std bore) for the restoration. I have many more pictures of the build on my website of pre restoration and during. Unfortunately I don't have much history on the car. Any interested parties are more than welcome to inspect the car or give me a call to discuss.

Domestic Imports is a small business I have ownership interest in. I'm an engineer by day job but enjoy restoring / driving old sports cars as my hobby.
