My 1963 Plymouth Belvedere "SLEEPER"
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL CAR SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
1st. time I have EVER considered letting this car go.It's doneRIGHT!LOTS of time parts searching, building and
MONEYinvested in this car but it was worth EVERY minute and driving the car on the highway is the payoff!
This was a genuine "little old lady" car from Louisville, KY. when it was found and purchased.
Gerald Goebel purchased it brand new at Perkin Motors for his wife Alice in 1963.Car had 40,363 original miles when I bought it (ON TITLE ACTUAL)Now 43XXX on car w/ 440 big block drivetrain.
80% of the car is still in its original white paint!Some body "patina", chips,scratches, dents but in myopinion it is PERFECT the way it is.I would NOT repaint this car.
Was factory /6, button shift auto with all original warranty/owners books in the glove box.100% Factory original interior.EXCELLENT headliner, back seat, door panels and glass!!!Original carpet has NEVER been out of the car!Front seat has a few bad places but it is ORIGINAL.Everything works!Under the dash is just as clean as the topside.All lights, gauges (2 aftermarket), heater/controls, wipers and YES...AM radio work!
BODY:
Car is STRAIGHT and rock SOLID!!!!!Doors "click" shut.Misc. chips, scratches, dents and old cracking paint in places.Floor pan is 100% rust free! I mean, NOT EVEN SURFACE RUST!You can crawl under this car ANYWHERE at all 4 corners and be amazed at how rust free it is.Subframe is perfect!Body has had a couple of dents filled on the passenger quarter panel.Lower front fenders show some minor rust spots but left untouched.
ENGINE:
Styled to resemble an original 426 Street wedge under the hood.

CAR IS FAST, RESPONSIVE and WILL SURPRISE YOU!!!Runs and DRIVES EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Tracks arrow straight and aligned!Reliable, trouble free car to drive and enjoy!NEVER any smoke or issues!Suspension is amazing, handles the road EXCELLENT!!!!
I amreluctantly listing this car because I have to focus on other priorities in my life. I swore this one was never going to be sold.
It is EXACTLY the car I always wanted.I just have too many and it is too much work for 1 guy to keep everything going, maintained, insured and full of gas.
Buyers are welcome and encouraged to swing by and we can take it out the highway or Interstate anytime for inspection.
You will NOT be sorry I assure you.You can't find another 1 owner, LOW mile documented '63 and build it this way for less money.
I have owned and worked on '63-'65 B Bodies my entire life.I know all of their weak spots and common issues.This car is EXCEPTIONAL to find in 2019.
If you have been looking for an early, SOLID B-Body that will pin you back in the seat and you don't have $25k-$30k...this is it!
Drive it ANYWHERE!
Clear Indiana titled, plated/registered and insured to me.
Call anytime (phone number in last pic).
Thanks!
Real easy to buy from me. Just read/accept the conditions below and we'll make it happen:
Simple rules for buying from me:
Shipping:
I am NOT a shippingcompany.
I CANNOT give you a quote to ship this car to you. There are many factors involved in shipping like open carry vs. enclosed carry,residential vs. commercial drop off.
Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility but I will work out the details with your shipper to load the car up.
Sold "As Is" and "Where Is". No warranty expressed or implied obviously BUT if you are in the area you are welcome and encouraged to come and physically inspect this vehicle at anytime.I'm not an expert on anything so PLEASE ask questions anytime. I'm happy to answer with 100% honesty to the best of my mechanical ability. This is an old car folks. Hard to cover every inch BUT I am happy to take any additional pictures of specific areas for you upon request at ANY time. I try to video and photograph everything to insure an honest ad.
Nothing to hide here.
Paying:
1) CASH IN HAND IS KING and I prefer handshake, FACE-TO-FACE transactions but that's not always an option.
So...
I EXCLUSIVELY USE DOMESTIC and/or INTERNATIONAL BANK-TO-BANK WIRE TRANSFER. IT'S SAFE, SECURE AND INSTANT. I HAVE CONDUCTED HUNDREDS OFSUCCESSFUL TRANSACTIONS THIS WAY OVER MANY YEARS WITHOUT 1 SINGLE ISSUE (see feedback).
2)IDO NOT,ABSOLUTELY 100%DO NOT USE PAYPAL OTHER THAN DEPOSITS UNLESS BUYER AGREES TO PAY PAYPAL FEES.
PAYPALISNOT ACCEPTED OTHERWISE!
I DO
NOTLIKE PAYPAL AND I THINKTHEIR FEES AREOUTRAGEOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE!
IT'S RIDICULOUS WHAT THEYCHARGEFORBASICALLY DOING NOTHING.3)AS A LAST RESORT, CASHIERS' CHECKS ARE "OK" BUT THERE IS A HOLD PERIOD WITH MY BANK (7-10 DAYS)
