<VV> Two impeccable FCs up for auction

[Bill Hubbell]

That differential carriers clearly NOT stock for a 1963 Rampside, nor is the rear engine door, which belies the statement that it was restored to "factory correct standard".  

It also has the floor shifter. I'm not home to check this - when did they convert the shifter from the style that went through the vertical wall under the seat to the floor style that requires the hole in the gas tank?

I'm not sure that generator is correct for 1963 either - didn't the FC terminals face the rear of the car, not the top, in order to avoid shorting out with the engine lid?

They are beautiful restorations, no question about that, but they are being misrepresented by the  "Bring A Trailer" article.  In fairness, however, I do not see any statement in the eBay ad that the car was restored to "factory correct standard"

Looks like the Rampside has a '64 differential (with the saddle relief for the transverse leaf spring/compensator).  But I'd still life to have them both.

In this morning's "Bring A Trailer", two impeccable FCs owned by Bill Jab and
seen recently at the Tacoma CORSA International convention are apparently up for
auction on eBay. Like many of us, I need another car like I need another oil
spot on the garage floor, so WHY do I subscribe to these things??? Well anyway,
it will be interesting to see what they go for (if they pass reserve!).
