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?

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...
