AS MUCH AS I HATE TO DO THIS, THE BUGGY IS GOING ON THE AUCTION BLOCK. HE HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY BROTHERS GARAGE PISSED OFF BECAUSE I NEVER USE HIM. THE DUB FIRED RIGHT UP AND I DROVE IT AT 70MPH ABOUT 60 MILES TO PORTLAND, WASHED HIM, AND HERE HE IS.... WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I WAS TOLD THE INTERIOR WAS ORIGINAL AND IT HAD ONE PAINT JOB, NOW ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. IT STILL LOOKS ALMOST GREAT... OK, I WOULD ACTUALLY SAY IT IS GREAT. THERE ARE A FEW DINGS AND A BUBBLING SPOT BY ONE OF THE DIRECTIONAL LIGHTS, ALL OF WHICH I HAVE INCLUDED IN THE PICTURES. THE READ FLOOR PANS PROBABLY SHOULD BE REPLACED. ORIGINAL TINTED WINDOWS, ORIGINAL ENGINE WITH GREAT COMPRESSION AND PLENTY OF PEP. A REBUILT CARB, NOS VOLTAGE REGULATOR, NEW BATTERY, NEW TIRES, AND EVERYTHING WORKS. TOP IS IN GOOD CONDITION INCLUDING THE GLASS REAR WINDOW. THERE IS SOME UGLY "CARPETING PAD" LIKE STUFF UNDER THE TOP AND I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS ORIGINAL AND IT WAS HIDDEN UNDER A HEADLINER OR WHAT. I JUST LEFT IT IN PLACE BECAUSE IT WAS QUIETER. THERE IS AN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT GAS HEATER WHICH I NEVER TRIED TO USE, BUT IF HE GOES TO A WARMER CLIMATE YOU WON'T NEED IT. 1963 HAD THE LOWEST PRODUCTION NUMBERS OF THE EARLY 60's SO HE HAS THAT GOING FOR HIM TOO!

FYI reserve is under $7000 by several hundred so we are within $1300ish. crazy!  this was a $12,000 car a few years ago.
