Another FI 1963 Coupe found and bought
I just pulled this 1963 from a shop (shop find) where is has sat for the last 30 years. The fellow owned it since late 1960's early 1970. Pretty original car that has been repaint in the Original Daytona blue. The paint job is really poor. Original motor, trans and rearend are there. The car must have been pretty flashy back in the day. They chromed everything under the hood except the FI unit.

The FI unit is packet and ready to ship to Jerry Bramlett for a rebuild. The original engine is off getting checker. It is still standard bore.
But here are some photos when I picked it up.
all there including the original MC (chromed)
bars of soap to keep the mice out

no way I'd repaint that.
get it mechanically freshened, and enjoy is how I'd go.
but that's just me...

Does the soap trick really work..? Which brand / scent is the most effective? I have a pristine vintage 1961 Glastron boat (bought from the original owner) currently in storage and have concers about mice..
Pretty Dandy Split Window also...!

A little blingy under the hood but all-in-all good bones for whatever you have in mind.
I'm envious....

Just noticed it looks like you may be in Germany. Don't know if you can get that soap there.
