    My older sisters inlaws had a 63 for about 10 years finally sold it in the mid 70's for gas mileage issues. I always thought the remote mirror control under the dash looked like something from JC Whitney. But it was a great highway cruiser, no A/C but you kept pretty cool with the back window rolled down.
    I always liked them.

    You have to wonder - couldn't the seller have waited for a sunny day to take these pics? It looks like sunset or the onset of a huge thunderstorm here. (Or maybe there are no sunny days in Eugene? :) )

    But - looks like a steal for $3,500.

    I actually drove past it the other day as it was out in front of a gas station, with a sign on it. Doesn't look like it's had any 'improvements' or attempt at restoration done on it. Paint didn't look shiny at all. If the seller put some time and a bit of elbow grease into it, I'd bet he could get $5k easy......
