63 Split Window Coupe

They are selling a 1963 SWC at the SilverAuction today--March 31st--in Portland, Oregon. VIN # 30837S100944. My understanding is that this car might be the same one sold last May by SilverAuctions for $31,000. Seems like a very low price for a SWC.

Anyone know anything about this car?

You can see it--item #207--at the Silver Auction web site

www.silverauctions.com.

Thanks,

Are the terrible pics to hide its poor condition?

Yes, but not nearly as bad as this picture of a '66 Chrysler 300 convertible

Stevie Wonder is the only person I know who could appraise that car.

It appears that the car did not sell at a high bid of $43,000.00.

Would be interesting to find out what the "reserve" was...
