[FC] 63 Brier

Ed, 



An FC without a  gas heater has a floor shape similar to a Corvair car particularly onthe passenger side. An upsweep and then a vertical panel up behind dash. There is a bolted in panel in the vertical portion. This is behind the right hand headlight. The panel is quite large, say a foot or so high and two feet or more wide. The FC gas heater is located in place of this "flat" vertical panel . It is a "bulging" shape that encloses the htr itself which is quite siimilar looking once separated from  th is panel, to a Corvair car gas htr.  Bolts right in place of this. It sticks out into th e passenger space, maybe 8". The FC WITH a gas ht r has a slightly different heater control lever panel, too.. There should be an exhaust/  tail pipe extending downward and bent outward in front of th e right hand front wheel. There are two oth er differences which you cannot see. One is a tee in the fuel lin e for fuel feed to the heater and there is a wiring harness assembly. If I am not correct, someone please st raighten me out.

I am looking at purchasing a 63 GB.It is quite a distance from me so all I have to go on is pictures.It has been repainted solid blue close to it's original color.What has me puzzled is the interior door color.From the photos it looks silver but my resources tell me it should be fawn.It's a standard GB.Wasn't even standards offered with more colors then just one? 
  Also how does one tell if it has a gas heater?Owner not sure, but the ductwork under the dash looks different then a forced air heater.Is there a different look? Thanks. Ed in Florida
