I wonder how many 1963 models would have left the factory with 5 displacers? Must have been a bad day on the production line.

Perhaps early displacers were so unreliable, they put a spare one in the boot at the factory 'just in case' :? :lol: :lol:

Looks to have a set of 3.5" S rims at the back of the car as well. Wonder if all the bits come with the car?

It has been converter to dry as well, which is a shame, the GT's rode really nicely on the wet suspension.

Agree. There wasn't any attention to detail that I could see even in the 'arty' shots of the car.

Maybe he means the door cards are in the right way up? :D :D

Agreed ... doesn't look quite right .. no dash rail trim.. its not Beige ?..though could Sandy beige/white been avail with Antelope dependant on what month in 69 car was built.. so very few cars come up for sale that look 100% right.. foxy52
