amazing! I better go check what's in my barn ;
Hell of a price for a chassis with no drivetrain! :shock:
Hell yeah, I'm pulling the motor and knocking out all my glass and replacing it with plexiglass this weekend.::Banana::Quote:

I just don't get it. Why? For some old POS with a little history?
But it doesnt have the history.Quote:

LOL....a little rust...
The buyer will spend $200k restoring it and flip it for 7 figures at BJs next year.
I followed that from the early stages. ::hypno::
I'm diggin those traction bars! I guess in 63 they were quite experimental.
If indeed that was one of 6 Super Duty 421 Tempest coupes (and it appears to be) built in 63 its worth some serious money with the run up on muscle cars the past decade or so. I can believe somebody would pay that but the ultimate value is seriously hurt by not have the original drive train. Lots of muscle car history here guys, only about 4 of the 12 cars built are known to still exist according to the Hemmings article. Titus is right on the money with his statement.
Most '63 Tempest had 326ci and rope drive transaxles factory.
This car had a Bonneville rearend fitted to handle the factory race 421.
Most of the factory race parts still exist.
(factory lightweight aluminum front sheetmetal is in Fla.)
If you want to have fun, there is a Tempest/LeMans 'vert on the CL.
