[CdnL79 Registry]

A three-on-the-tree 1963 SS with original paperwork. Appears optional seat belts weren't ordered, but added later.

That is a beauty Bob. I would love to have that sitting next to my white convertible. It would make a very nice pair.

My question about the SS models that came with the column shift and no center console. Were the tabs still on the floor pan to put the console in or are they not? if not at what point in the assembly did they get installed? (the tabs themselves and not the console)

Body color firewall so it was made in Canada?

Fisher Body was responsible for the installations required for the SS console mounting and the PG shifter hump. These directions were on the cowl tag already mounted on the firewall....a 2M for the PG and 'X' or 'Z' for the SS option. If these codes weren't on the tag, the car was a 3 on the tree with no console mounting and no shifter hump. I don't know if Fisher installed the actual console, or if this was done on the Chevrolet assembly line.

No this is an early Oakland, California, build before the change to black firewalls. The change took place at some point during the 1963 production year, but may not have been at the same time in all plants.

Beautiful car. Who wouldn't like to have that one? Something about a black interior on an SS that is very cool.

Be interested to see what it goes for.

Mid 20's. Nice original super sports of any year will always command top $.
