Has to be aftermarket setup for racing.  The doors did have the lip on top but opened straight out like the C-3.  These look like some kind of lambeau kit or something.

Also, the door went all the way down, not the door sill you see in this pic.

Still, if the price is right and the steering wheel is left, it might be a good deal.

I agree with dnv that it appears to be some type of kit. There's nothing on the body  that looks original. (doors, flared fenders, hood, etc)

Now if you're looking for another toy that will probably blow the doors off your truck, go for it if the price is right. I don't think it would ever win any NCRS awards or  be an investment as for monetary returns but the fun you would have with it would be priceless. 

It looks to be a replica car. My guess it is better, faster, funner, he,he,he... than a o-riginal 63. Different animal, different value.

If it fits your fancy and matches your wallet it would be a sweet thing to have in the garage and extra fine to wind out on the road! Tuxblacray2007-11-06 20:23:43

Dunno...looks like it could be a car someone simply modified. The flares are definitely hand laid/made, as are the doors. Kinda a Mercedes Gull-Wing look on the doors.
What engine/trans?

From the pics, it does look like a neat car...need more info...and PICS!

thanx so far for the toughts 
Was also my first idea.. a replica car....but then again, who should make a replica C2 , even if on a original chassis , if there are originals for sale ????
Can't hardly believe....think it's a aftermarket rebuild ... ex racer ????

I go see within a few hours....

Engine is a 350 with 2 carbs ???? ( so surely not original ) , trans is automatic....??? So if we decide to buy it we count the price in for a conversion to a 5 speed manual..... Think i have seen such sets on the internet for about 5.000 $ ???

I have my Black Book at hand for the chassis # , very curious....

My god,my god... just back from the trip ....This is one big piece of junk....

Well....that explains it! It looks neat, still...but from a distance, right?

Well the thought was nice. I remember ownin an 84 and wishin it was a 63..... at least it appears he fixed that pesky digital dash problem in the 84's.

Too bad it turned out to be a TURD.... It sure looked good from here! Tuxblacray2007-11-07 15:23:51

hi Bruce, yes,yes...toys enough but sure wanted to see THAT car , as the owner was asking on the phone some 30K... Now that's about half the price they ask for a split window....
Now it's not worth 3K... Again amazed how one can be mislead by pics...

Yes, the sailboat..hope my carpenter comes back this month and has a few months time to finish....We are making plans to get the water before summer 2008... but , yeah, already done his a couple years back...

Look , it was a hobby for the past 14 years, and must remain that way... no hurry , no "must"....Ofcourse  now our house is almost finished and " liveble"  we can concentrade again on the boat.... you see, one day...we will hoist the sails and dock at your house ...
