Good looking car, but don't believe everything in the add. There were 6,853 of these built so it's hard to believe only 500 had bucket seats and I don't know where that figure would have come from anyway. I don't think that breakdown exists.

I think the "rare racing clock" was a standard piece, and the 390 4V was standard in Park Lane. Add doesn't say whether or not the "RPM gauge" works.

Again, nice car with some decent options.

In '65 people were switching to the intermediate and pony cars for the "sporty" models, large cars with bucket seats took a sharp nose dive... The body type code 63C would indicate how many had bucket seats, as far as Ford knowing, I dunno(I understand records are incomplete prior to '66) but 500 is probably a fairly close guess... I do doubt seriously it was a round number...

Still it's a nicer car than the low mileage '67 rust-bucket that was recently posted...

Nice I had '66 vert:) This one looks very clean, no pictures of the underneath of course.

Still not a bad find.

Ooh... That's nice, wish I had the extra $$$ I'd definitely jump on this!

Good looking example of Detroit Steel....4 body trunk...Dual quads and a blower would make it even better..

Very nice car...too bad it's not a 4 speed. Gotta love the build sheet.

Is $9200 a good deal?
