    Pretty nice '63 Country Squire. Almost perfect, perhaps, except for the odd-looking wood trim (not the painted-on di-noc replacement, but the fibreglass trim).

    But why, oh why, do people sell classic cars at the beginning of winter? It would be so nice to be able to drive this one home - in July or August - but November? Time for classic car hibernation.

    Anyone know where yellow lensed headlights can be purchased? I think that is a cool look.

    Yeah. I've been doing more research on this. You'd definitely need added relays, etc. The same Ebay seller also sells wiring kits.

    I found out more details on the standard sealed bulbs, including a GE part number (24460). The best price I found was on Amazon (seller eLightBulbs). I just bought a pair for $28.47 shipped.

    Cool deal, thanks for the info!
    I'm stuck between those yellow ones or running 2 silvered ones. There is another '63 on this site that has 2 silvered ones that looks cool as well.

    That seems like a good deal. His craigslist listing was priced at $20,900.

    I might of bought it at that price but he was telling me 18k was his bottom dollar, guess he didnt think I was to serious about buying it, or he was hoping I would give 4-5k more than he was going to get, who knows.

    Hmmm ... sold on eBay Nov. 26 for $14,299, but Craigslist ad updated on Dec. 1 with a new price of $17,900? :huh:

    Might be a case of a non-paying eBay buyer?

    Nice wagon, nice colors. I would give up 15k if I were in the market and it was as clear as it looks.
