Re: New to me 1963

Nice find! If the paint code is 505, that's the same color as my 63 was from the factory. Those are the same spot welds on the VIN tag that I have on my 63, so no need to worry there. Rivets came around in later years.

Looks like this one was ordered without a radio or a cigarette lighter! I could be wrong about the no radio though. Looks kinda like an antenna hole on the passenger cowl extension panel
