Car's toast - put it thru a shredder and end the pain....

Its got custom tail lights and other add-ons - might not even be a real split window....

What a shame that one looks to have bitten the bisket.
I love the 63 split window and will have one sooner or
later as its my birthyear car.

It's been modded already who know if it's even the real deal. If it were then the original motor and tranny and Vin number are about the only things of real value if it could be registered as original 63 split window

If it were a #'s matching car it owuld have been sold long ago and somebody would have used their car to clone it to be an original car. Even in that condition it would be sold in seconds unless owner is asking really stupid money. What a shame none the less.

Those tail lights were added by a dealer in California.
