1963 Chevrolet Bel Air
My 63 Chevy
Hello there, I am Bob Mayben, I live in Gadsden Alabama, and I love old cars. Since 1962 and my first 54 Ford Crestline with a very noisy (my friend Vic Chance called it a calypso crankshaft, you should have heard it!) I have owned a few, raced a few, showed a few, and loved them all. In 1963 my sister Gail, and her husband Billy bought a brand spanking new 63 Super Sport. White with red interior, 327. I have always had a soft spot in my head for 63's. So, I am looking at a shopper magazine one Sunday, it was March 5, 2006 ,and there was an ad for a 1963 Chevrolet for sale for $500.
"Well, you know this can't be much, or it's already gone", but I called the number anyway. "Yep, it's still sittin' out there, come look at it". So my wife JoAnne and I drove out in the country about 20 miles and took a look at my new money pit.
Well, these things are gettin' hard to find - and it IS a 2 door....It had a hole in the windshield, no seats, no floorboards, a 6 cylinder that had not run in years, two tires (one flat), and had centered a tree before it became a resting hulk.
