Default WTB 1963 SWC Fuelie #1

My father and I sold our 99.6 1963 Sebring Silver SWC fuelie about 10 years ago to fund a business and haven't found a worthy replacement yet.

We are looking for a no stories #1 car in Sebring Silver and are willing to pay top dollar I think between 150-200k correct me if I am wrong. The Big tank Z06 cars are out of our price range but i've seen a few out there right now available.

If anyone has a car or knows of one I would love to hear from you. Either PM me or shoot me an email.

Thank you!

You may want to check out Mecum Auction and see what they have coming up in Indianapolis, In on May 15th I think it is. Good luck on your hunt.

Saw that, any thoughts on that car. They say original but the paint looks far too good especially in the door sills to be original... so is it just a old restoration?

They are just wording things well. They said it a a "very original" car, not AN original car. It states in the ad it had one repaint. I'd be curious what the stamp looks like under the orange paint personally. To me this is not a #1 car, but its also not priced as one either...

That's my friend's car I could tell you plenty about it or direct you to the owner, but it's still not silver.

I’m still here and haven’t found the diamond in the rough yet. Specifically looking for a #1 car or an all original car in Sebring silver but still not finding it. Please feel free to keep sending Cars my way! I’m attentive and will get back to you if you have something but it’s got to be that perfect car made the mistake of buying two cars that weren’t that and they didn’t stay around. Thank you to everyone trying to assist.

The forum will permit "OBO" or "serious offers" in a sales or WTB thread where a price has been stipulated. Responses to WTB threads must include an asking price.
