I am having a hard time resisting this one. If I showed it to Cathy, that would be the end of my resistance. Her father purchased a new 1963 Cruiser (white/blue) like this one except for the A/C. I wonder if the A/C was added later. It would be something if this is the same car.

Are they wheelcovers or wheels? In either case, not a big thing to change. I am going to guess that the driver's position upholstery is worn out.

Good looking car, may be a very reasonable price too.

I think that's a good deal. The price guide at Collector Car Market Review shows a #2 at $8770 and #3 at $5500 (includes the +10% for air conditioning).

Im not much of a 4 door guy, but this car is a STEAL at the price, if it measures up in any degree to the specs in the ad. Buy it and drive the wheels off it. It'll be a 289 with auto, so it'll be terrific fun. If you have even the slightest inclination toward the car, I doubt you'll find a better one for twice the price.
Sheesh folks, this one looks like a no-brainer.

Looks like a very nice car for the money. Good thing I don't have $4000 to spend or I may just have to go pick it up. It would be hard to take a project car and make it that nice for that kind of money.

I know the folks who are selling it. His Dad worked at my Uncle Al's dealership and his son who owns the Cruiser is a machinist. It's been in good hands. BTW the wires are only covers. Good solid car. Note the seats and headrest!

Cool beans, Rob; it does look like a nice car.

Question / Comment: I assume the left front door has been replaced with a used one from a Blue Mist car? Note that the entire door is painted Blue Mist, not just the upper window frame.

Comment: The 1963 Indiana license plate with a 71 prefix indicates St. Joseph County IN, the car's "home."

'Hope someone here steps up; it ought to be worth the money for sure. BP

Good eyes there Bob. (It also has a battery hold down, guess you noticed that too. )

Believe it or not, Paul; I hadn't checked for a battery hold-down!

I think one would be hard pressed to find another like this for this kind of price. What a great one to get into the collector car hobby with and have something different to drive and show. Someone will scoff this bargain up soon.

This does indeed look like a great deal. If I didn't already have a Cruiser, I think I would consider this one.

I just asked for additional photos
Maybe the car comes to germany. I like it very much. It seems it is a good deal

... Are they wheelcovers or wheels? ...

It does seem they are wheel covers. If you look at the image there is a wheel weight clip showing that goes under the wheel cover. They don't look like cheap wheel covers, but covers nonetheless. Especially on the back the wheel just lacks depth. A dished wheel and slightly larger at the rear just looks right on a 50's-70's car. I realize not everyone is into the performance look but it does differentiate what Edd China would call a "Grand Dad Cruiser" (and, a...., no pun intended) and a car that has an updated, acceptable performance look today.

@ stude1964
Is it possible for you to ask the seller to send me more details? If yes, I will provide my email to you.
