Some More From eBay...63 C2

Re: Some More From eBay...Trim tag info

Syd, It is not from the convertible you mentioned, as the trim tag, under STYLE, shows 63 837 designating a coupe, it would be 63 867 for a convertible. Dave

Re: Some More From eBay...Tim tag info

I asked the seller why the VIN is over 8,000 units off what it should be for a mid-June car - here's his response:

"I'm just listing this car. I don't know about what you are referring to. I'm just listing this the best I know that is why I included the trim tags and the vin number. You may be right. I don't know...All the tags appear to be original

- jre6836 "

Re: Some More From eBay...Trim tag info

Right you are Dave.
With all the excitement of trying to post the link I failed to notice the
308 "3" 7S of the vin tag.
Even more of a mystery now!

I may try to dig up the info from when I recorded the convertible this weekend to see if I also noted it's body number at the same time.

Either way, chances are that the new owner will not be so happy somewhere down the road.

John, That is the kind of response I would have expected, that's why I didn't bother. In the description, he states it is the correct engine, not necessarliy the original engine. But, it would be kind of interesting to know what engine assembly date and VIN derivative (if any) is stamped on the pad. Dave

Re: Some More From eBay...Tim tag info

Dave, I have a 65 fuel injection survey since 1977 that has much of the same info. Would you like a copy? Maybe you have stuff I need. The survey has 490 of the 771 cars made with fuel injection.
