No kidding. FYI a '63 doesn't have the semaphore turn signals.

I had a '54 barndoor. I got to drive it 5 days before it was hit in the left rear corner, and eventually sold on. (last I heard it resold for USD14K, in the 90s) While it was sitting at a body shop they offered me a '58 23-window with no sunroof for the hauling away and I turned it down. Some believe those don't even exist.

Here's what I learned about the barndoor. Those wheels should be 16". Lever action shocks in the rear and the rear corner windows are plexiglass. The gas tank is longitudinal in the left rear corner. When the drunk rednecks hit me the tank was full and it was like hammering a log, it pushed the inner bulkhead forward. That body shop didn't want to touch it.

Get pictures. They will want to see them on thesamba.com.
