Had the same problem with a 63 convertible in 1968.  BUT it caught fire!!!  Minor damage, dealer replaced wiring.

> I had this problem once on a 63 vert. After charging the battery numerous times and it still dying I discovered the heater hose touching the battery connection on the starter thus draining the battery via the metal ring inside the hose. Took a strip of innertube and glued it around the hose. Problem solved. Ed in Fla
