The Spyder was my Mother in Law’s daily driver from New to about 1990 and then my daily driver from 1994-2004, I started the engine rebuilt in 2004 and then had the privilege to drag the ’63 all over the country before settling for good in Colorado.

The good: 
Steve Goodman rebuilt the carb and distributor
Engine is back in the car
New clutch
New battery
New engine wiring harness
All electrical appears to work
Comes with loads of parts, books and manuals
Rear suspension was rebuilt this year
New heater blower fan and relined heater box
The 1999 Earl Scheib red paint job is almost good

The bad:
Passenger rear wheel bearing is shot
Driver’s seat upholstery is a lost cause
It will need to be towed
Title says “California” but that is an easy change ;p

Why?
Changed priorities: between work and the horses, I won’t have time for another car project until 2035

The price can’t be beat: Free to a club member.
