Thanks. Still pinching myself. Still sorting through Keys. At least one has the owners manual and Protecto plate. The red 63 was sold to a Brue K Arnold in Pasadena and has the owner protection plan. He bought it at Angelus Chevrolet Co on Figueroa St in Los Angeles on March 4 1963. The Title I got for it was issued in 1974 to the People I bought it from.

I think I remember them saying they had to pay about 4000.00 for the Yellow 67 Coupe. I peeked inside the red 63 gas tank this morning and the gas still smells good. The owner used to start them up once in awhile but as he got older it just became too much work. They said they all ran fine when they parked them.

Keep the original CA plates and dealer frames on them too. My opinion is leave them pretty much as-is. Yes, clean them up (owl dung is not really a "patina" item) and then preserve them as time capsules.

Those K-H mags are so cool on that '63---leave them on the car! Just put on a new set of belted pinstripe whitewalls.

Oh, and the "327" on the green 63's plates is very cool. "FLV 327" almost sounds like "FueLie Vette 327."

What a score. I can almost hear Jan and Dean coming from the radio in the red '63.

Charley, congrats and what an awesome find. These are the best stories that keep us all on the look out for the diamond or in your case diamonds in the barn. Thanks for sharing!

If that trailer is ruined by the smell I just might take it off your hands. I have been looking at alum trailers and that looks like a good one.
