Exclamation Wanted: 61-63 Tempest Parts

My "new" '63 4-4-4 convertible is missing a lot of parts.

1. 4-cyl power steering pump brackets
2. power steering drag or center link
3. dash tachometer
4. shifter and ball
5. power brake assembly — two large brackets that hold the booster away from the firewall, small L-shaped bracket to the fender, rod, pedal
6. power convertible top assembly, including dash switch
7. fender-mounted mirrors
8. lower front valance sheet metal under bumper
9. front bumper
10. rear bumper
11. lower rear valance sheet metal with cutouts for backup lights
12. set of poverty or dog dish hubcaps for 63

I won't ask you to box anything up or ship a thing. PM me photos and if it's a match, I'll appear with cash. Or if there's something you need, I might have it, ask.

Chuck
Newton, Mass.

Default 63 Tach vs. 64.

That new tachometer (in post #3 above) is made to fit a 64 Lemans or GTO only. It would never work or fit the dash in a 63 car.

That tach is made to read off of an 8 Cyl engine and it would not have the mounting stud in the back of the housing; which you need for a '63 accessory tachometer, to mount the dash bezel.

A real '63 Tempest/Lemans in-dash factory tach looks like this:
