63 Garage find
 

Found this car about a mile from the Enderly center where we go to a car show a couple times a month.Bought it from the daughter of the original owner.Unusual car as it is the cheap charlie Tempest body and a low CR 1 bbl 4 cyc engine with a 3 speed stick BUT with the deluxe interior with padded dash and deluxe clear steering wheel.Car is at the top shop now,needs carpet and interior cleaning.Amazing condition on the original seats.Tom

----What a cutie, Tom!!! I had a neighbor a bit older than me who had a 326 3-speed convert new. Always thought they were handsome. Little bugger was quick. Id love to find one of those, but they seem to be nonexistant......Bill S

There is a club site called the Little Indians,do a search.They are connected and might be able to help find one.The first car I bought was a 63 326HO 3 speed lemans coupe.Tom

Re: 63 Garage find
 

These are such cool little cars. For those that haven't ridden in one, the interior is basically like a 1964 GTO, but much narrower. The seats are standard Pontiac units, so with buckets, there's no room for a console. It's a cozy cockpit. From the driver's seat you can reach over and touch the passenger side armrest quite easily.

And imagine this little car with a 421 Super Duty. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]
