    63 convertible purchase - what should be there?

    Hello - I am in the process of purchasing a 63 convertible from the original owner. The car has been stored for a long time. The owner has a lot of the "accessories" (air cleaner, ignition shields, hubcaps) in his basement. I am wondering what else should be included with the car. He has a few jacks - can someone post a picture of the original? Were any tools or other things included? What sort of manuals came with the car when new? I am trying to get a list of things in hopes that he has most of them somewhere in his basement... Any help is appreciated.....

    Bob, there are many items. If this is not a rush purchase get a copy of the 63/64 Judging Guide and use it as a reference. Also, Noland Adams book would be a great help. Try the local NCRS chapter to borrow the books if it's a rush purchase. Also, see if a local NCRS chapter 1963 owner would assist and go see the parts. I need to run will list some items later today.

      You'd better just take someone with you who knows them. The list would be long for what to look for and odds are, that would not help you determine original from aftermarket anyway.

      Some guy on eBay is constantly selling '63 jacks, '67 jacks, etc. He does state they are not original, but I wonder how many have not noticed that in the text.

      Air cleaners - there are lots that can be there. You'd be amazed at what people would think is original on the car and isn't.
