How many made?
My brother just bought a survivor car no hit, original paint, 63 convertible with 2 tops, PS, PB, PW, Auto, Factory air, white with tan leather interior. Looking at the options we are trying to figure how many they made. The a/c alone makes it one in just a few but with all the other options it can't be many. Any way to find out?

The Nolad Adams book will break it down with the engine trans and AC. But that as fair as you can go. Beside the break down of each of the options. Sounds like a great car though. Would like to see pictures. I haven't seen to many real 63 AC cars. I guess all the real one year only AC parts are there

Great find. Does the AC work? Or does it need some help you think? Either way sounds like a great car.

I saw the car for sale, looked pretty legit to me, but I am no 63 expert. out of the 278, the Noland Adams book estimates only 50-52 were convertibles.

If you read the e-bay ad carefully, you will NOTE TWO VINs listed, 12115 in the specs section and 21115 in the narrative. No picture of Trim Tag or VIN tag. If its 12115, it may be a little early for A/C. It should also be noted that the 20(?) year old '63 Survey DOES LIST
21115 as a convertible, no color given, but with A/C, PS, PB & PW. The indication is a 250 HP engine with PG.

I love the way the eBay ad is written. Could have tried to paint it in a much different light but was refreshingly upfront.
With the white, saddle leather, PS, PB, auto, PW, and A/C convertible, I could see it being ordered for some very high-maintenance Texas Doctor's wife.
Cool car. Love it.
