Looks real nice. It's a V8 car?

tom s 02-12-2015 08:12 PM
4 cyc 1 bbl and 3 speed.The lady must have liked shifting!With the options it had to be a special order car.Tom

Nice clean looking car. Whats your plan Tom?

tom s 02-12-2015 08:45 PM
my plan is to get it running,clean it up,drive for awhile,show it as a survivor at local shows and let the next owner deal with paint and top.Interior is unbelievable.Padded dash with no cracks,deluxe wheel with a couple in the hub and one in the clear.Tom

Interior
 
For a 4 cylinder manual transmission car, it has the most deluxe interior I have seen. And the interior looks to be in excellent condition. Good score, Tom.

The interior is the only thing that got me to buy it!I need a project like another wife!Tom

great ride love the interior

Round taillight vert is somewhat rare to begin with. Add black with tri-blue interior, stick and survivor status -- fugetaboutit!

Padded dash?!?!? I didn't even know they had them on this car! Great score Tom! That thing looks great!

Nice find.
Just goes to show not all Northern Cars are rust buckets.
Can't say I've seen a floor shift '63. Is that the correct shifter?

63Banshee 02-13-2015 08:09 AM
Padded dash, custom wheel -- correct options for the car and unusual for a 1bbl 195 car. Manual choke is standard on stick cars. Shift knob should be round with standard 3 spd H pattern. Will you pull PHS on it, Tom?

tom s 02-13-2015 11:10 AM
Dave,there is a plain blk shift knob in the glove box.The handle is somekind of auto shifter.I might pull the PHS just for history.All 61-63 stick shift cars are floor shifters as far as I know.Tom

Yes. Meant to include the wheel.

Jeff Hamlin 02-13-2015 07:02 PM
Very cool indeed.
Ever since I put my buddies '63 back together I've really become fond of that body style.
How bad is the 1/4?

Transporter 02-13-2015 07:13 PM
Nice find Tom, good luck with it!

c5farmer 02-13-2015 07:36 PM
shifter
 
I think manual transmissionTempests came with a painted shift lever and plain black knob, while manual transmission Lemans came with a chrome shift lever and white knob. Can anyone shed some light on this?
