Searching for a '63 Split Window Coupe project with an unmolested body (hopefully).
It doesn't have to be a runner but would certainly consider one. Missing engine or trany is okay!
NOM is ok! Budget in the $40-50k range. Willing to discuss.
Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone have a project car they want to bow out of

Reason: revised info
Probably not what you are looking for but I have a REAL 63 RED/FI fuely 2 tops I have the original FI unit and air cleaner. The car is NOM but came out of Dallas and the frame is great. I believe the car is never been hit. I you are interested please give me a call and I will fill you in on all the info I have. I am asking $48000. I have many new parts and she drive good. Mostly original interior.

This one is getting close Will, but still is causing some concern. Info over on Hemmings indicates the frame is actually from a convertible thus the vin would be off i.e. 0867 conv vs 0837 coupe. I find it interesting how Gullwing Motors' own site doesn't provide this detail yet it's mentioned on Hemmings > http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/...e/1809013.html
Not certain how I'd feel about restoring a coupe with a convertible vin#.
Gullwing Motor Cars has this 63 SWC project. 718 545-0500. Asking $49,500.
I called a guy there I know and he was pretty upfront about this being a convertible vin. It is indeed a convertible that was converted to a coupe a long time ago. Stay far away from this one unless you do not care.

Couldn't agree with you more Matt... sure wish a good one one show up soon, these have entered into the realm of 'hen's teeth'

I wouldnt want the car either, but would the VIN difference only be on the frame, if the frame is what was replaced? Meaning, the VIN tag would still be a coupe, as would the title. Now, if a convertible car had a "body change", the title would be for a convertible. And where did the VIN tag come from?
Ive seen cars with replacement frames that never affect a thing because the title and the VIN tag are still as original. What's the case here?
Its on the birdcage so it is with the body. There is a guy in Canada that has a frame, vin tag and title from a 63 SWC. I would do it but I would let others make that determination on their own

I know, thats why Im asking why people are saying a car with a frame swap now has a "convertible VIN." The original, coupe VIN is still on the VIN tag on the bady, as is the title.
