The real deal here:
The Landau Coupe 2 Door (22715 made), body code 63B is rarer then the Coupe 2 Door (60,552 made) and just as rare as the convertibles (9198 made). Very popular seller in 1964.
Hagerty condition 4 value $6800 to condition 3 $12,200. Good luck finding any 55-57s to build out.
This car has minimal rust and is mechanically strong. The only rust I see is under the trunk lid. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner before we bought the car at approx. 80k, and the transmission was installed at that time as well and has less than 1k on it. It's been garaged as evidenced by the tags but started right up with a fresh battery (included), we also changed out the starter solenoid and ignition switch, but it does need a relay to key start it. I don't expect the A/C works, but I haven't tried it. There are some minor issues, but you can figure it out, you'd want to be the one working on it anyway. It sounds and smells good. You would want to change all the fluids as well.
The body is pretty straight, as you can see by the pictures. It needs however, minor bondo, some pounding out and a good paint man.
Consider the hubcaps go for $100 each (spinner type, ruby center) and are rare, non-painted fender shields (after market) will also be included. The carpet is OEM with little to no wear, the front seats have been re-stuffed. The door panels are original and show it's 50 years of age, but they are original with the cardboard backing (you can't buy those anymore), only reproductions are available for purchase if you choose to do so. I wouldn't. I'm also including the shop manual.
This car is perfect if you can wrench and know a good body man.
The car is reasonably priced and sold in as is condition with no implied or un-implied warranties. Buyer is responsible for registration, transfer, and shipping fees/arrangements.
With all that said, I hope you can see the value in an unrestored classic for it's pure potential to carry on tradition and heritage from your generation to the next, it's an American tradition to fix up a car with your kid and this is the one you want to bridge your dad's generation to your kids generation , you can't put a price on that.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart
Mon, Oct 27 2014Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt. He also says that while the company is currently focused on products with a broader appeal, another Roadster or other sports car aren't out of the question in the future. Read more at Auto Express. Ford admits to a Tesla Model S teardown. Ford CEO Mark Fields says that after disassembling, reassembling and driving the model S, his company is "very familiar with that product." He also says the Ford has the capability to build a similarly high-tech, long-range electric car. The questions still remains if Ford has plans for such a vehicle, but Fields says that it fits within Ford's "product philosophy." Read more at Business Insider and at USA Today.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
