Ive yet to see anyone else on ebay put up detailed pics like ours. We dont have alot of fine print blah blah. Just the important stuff buyers are looking for. NO RESERVE-- BID TO WIN -- DONT MISS IT IN THE END VERY RARE ANDDESIRABLE 1963 BUICK 2 Door Hardtop / KEEP IN MIND in 1963 ONLY 6848 of these cars where built, ow many are left ? What are the chances of seeing one at a local car show or dream cruise ???!!! Slim to none. If you want RARE / Different and LUXURY, ook No Further !! this car was at the top of its game back in 63 and GM pulled out all the stops to make this car Top Dog to potential buyers. In 1963, f you had money or wanted your neighbors to know you had money, enerally this was one of the cars to buy. It was also a car GoodFella type guys where known to own and drive. It was huge and being a 2 door was just a great cruiser. This was Buicks top of the line rig back in 63 and when you look at all the cool features this car had inside and out, t gets more impressive. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this car Id consider a Barn Find of sorts, ut luckily at least its an AZ find. Meaning no rot on the car like an eastern car. The car has been sitting for at least 15 yrs. It spent most of its time outside in the AZ sun most of its life causing alot of sun damage to the original RED interior . Check out ALL THE CHROME inside this car and the knobs and controls they used for things like Vents and AC controls, his car deserves to be restored. As far as the drivetrain goes, t rolls and steers but the motor needs to be rebuilt after one day it just died. Not sure how bad the motor is, ts not locked up and there are no holes I can see in the block, ut the 401 Nailhead needs work before it will run again. Maybe its even a good time to RESTO MOD it and look at a more modern drivetrain for this beast. LS1 ? LS6 ? Cummins Turbo Diesel ???? That would be an awesome project when done. SO ITS NO SECRET THIS CAR WILL NEED A TOTAL RESTORATION for the most part.. The Positive points: little to no rust or rot mainly on the Az body, ll the original glass seems to be usable and intact, nd its a great original color combo. During repaint, hite would be cool... but with a RED INTERIOR, o would BLACK or SILVER !! Both colors with RED INTERIOR are amazing combos. Add some 22" wheels and tires, ow can you go wrong !!??? Odometer Shows aprox 61k miles on it, hances are it has rolled over at least once. Ill have to see what the title says. OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself - PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR FEEDBACK !! and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence. NOT MANY OF THESE cars left with most of its original sheetmetal still like this one. UN RESTORED SURVIVOR EXTERIOR: Pretty sure this body has had at least one paint job, F NOT it has had some repair to the RR area behind the pass door at one time. I can see evidence of past repair there. There is also dent in the same area now, etween the door and RR wheel. The LF fender looks to have been replaced maybe at one time, ou can see the LF headlight chrome trim is loose and the hood and fender dont line up as well as stock. It looks obvious when you see the pics below, ut I just wanted to point it out just in case. Much or most of the OEM trim is still in place and accounted for. And the car has alot of it. NO rust (other then some surface) at the bottom of the rear window like many GM cars from this era. Dont think the car has ever had a vinyl roof, o the top sheetmetal is in good shape. Much of the chrome is showing its age after 50 yrs as you can expect, ut there is LITTLE TO NO PITTING !! Why is this important ? Because it makes the re-chroming process much better and cheaper for the consumer.
DRIVETRAIN: it is an original factory 401 Nailhead motor and Turbine Drive drivetrain under the hood, hich as mentioned we know at least the motor Will need a rebuild or major repair. (think they said it had a broken cam). The transmission should be fine, ame for the stock rearend. Most all of the original pieces are still under the hood if you plan on doing a Stock restoration. If you are planning a 502 Big Block or Cummins Turbo Diesel conversion, hen well at least you still have the original drivetrain for down the road if you want it. Car did have Factory AC so thats nice for doing a restoration. INTERIOR: old, riginal showing its age, ts because its been in the AZ climate For the last 40+ yrs, ts very dry and in bad shape. It will need full restoration here too on all the plastic and vinyl parts, r at least most of it. 3 out of 4 of the factory PWs did move when I hit the switches. So they feel like they want to work at least. Factory console and FT Bucket seats are a really cool touch on a 20 Foot long Car !! The Buick Layout of the SPeedo / Gauges / Clock / Radio and MISC CONTROLS is really classic and restored back to Stock, t would look awesome. Check out the AC CONTROLS mostly hanging down above the radio. This was the JET AGE for America and the car manufacturers reminded us of that for much of the 60s !! There is alot more chrome inside this car then you can imagine. And its all steel, lmost no plastic here. Just sitting in the car checking out the layout, felt like I should of had my flight suit on :) Keep in mind, his car is far from being restored and you are buying a project car !! Stock radio could wor, ard to say because the speaker is old. TRUNK: mostly surface rust, idnt see any real rot to worry about, retty sure the 5th stock wheel / spare is missing, runk light is factory. I dont have a trunk key, I actually only have 1 key for the car for the ignition. To OPEN the trunk, use the factory TRUNK RELEASE neatly hidden in the Glove Box. SUSPENSION: basically bone stock suspension thats been taken careof over the years. NOT much to report because I cant drive the car, ut Im sure its old like rest of the car and will need some attention in the future. But it all seems to be there making for less work. Who knows, aybe its time for an Air Ride conversion :)
