IN MAY OF 2014 VERMONT WAS STRUCK BY A VIOLENT HAIL STORM WHICH DESTROYED THE CAR'S EXISTING TOP. WE REPLACED THE TOP AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATED PARTS INJULY 2014, AND THE TOP WAS NOT LOWERED UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2015. NEW TOP HAS VERY LITTLE USE AND WAS GARAGED DURING WINTER MONTHS.
THE BLACK INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND IS SHOWING ITS AGE. THREADS ARE SPLITTING ON DRIVER'S SEAT. DOOR PANELS ARE LOOSENING. ORIGINAL BLACK CARPET IS FADED AND NEEDS REPLACING. TRUNK LOCK IS MISSING AS IT FROZE UP. DRIVER'S SUN VISOR NEEDS NEW ATTACHMENT PLATE. LOWER BODY SHEET METAL IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN PROPERLY. HAVING SAID ALL THIS, EACH TIME I TAKE THE CAR OUT AS IT I, STRANGERS BECOME ACQUAINTANCES AS MANY PERSONS FATHERS OR GRANDFATHERS DROVE A '63 GALAXIE ALTHOUGH NOT VERY MANY DROVE A RAG TOP.
THE ASKING PRICE OF $3,900 IS FIRM, AND THE CAR IS LOCATED IN TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK. PICK UP IS FOB TICONDEROGA, ALTHOUGH I COULD BE TALKED INTO DRIVINGIT A REASONABLE DISTANCE ON THE EAST COAST TO ITS NEW OWNER. DELIVERY IS TOTALLY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEW OWNER.

SHOULD A PURCHASER CHANGE HIS MIND OR NOT BE ABLE TO PICK THE CAR UP BEFORE SNOW FALLS, WE WILL REFUND MONIES PAID EXCEPT FOR $500.00 TO REIMBURSE US FOR A LOST SELLING SEASON.
