Re: '63 Split Window LT5 at Dallas Mecum
Classy build. That intake bothers a lot of people visually, me too. Nice fab work, but I would have siamesed those pipes together before they got right up to the horn.
Really like that color. But high back seats in a 63'? Not for me. A friend of mine built a Split Window with an LT5. Body and paint just as good as this one. I got a chance to drive it, and it was quite a thrill. He offered it for $30K about 5-6 years ago. $190K? Dream on pal. No matter how cool, it's still a non-original Kustom Kar. |

My opinion FWIW. That 63 must drive like an old school bus . Pull out that boat anchor and install a stock type S/B or even better L/S engine.

Re: '63 Split Window LT5 at Dallas Mecum
Any chance this was a C4 chassis conversion? I would agree w Frank in that the motor completely outstrips the capability of the chassis. Aesthetically however, a very pretty car.

Re: '63 Split Window LT5 at Dallas Mecum
I think it's a custom frame, with modern suspension front and rear. So it's probably very capable, hence the price.

Re: '63 Split Window LT5 at Dallas Mecum
135k is ok for that car. lots of custom work and it is super clean. people are paying that kind of money for shear junk so 135 is good.

Re: '63 Split Window LT5 at Dallas Mecum
Think they'll rip out the LT-5?
