Hi All, the picture of my convertible is on my profile page. I have a pretty original, although not clean, 1963 Futura Convertible.

Basically the only non-original items are the Dual Master Cylinder upgrade, wrong year rear-view mirrors and the big piece of red naugahide I glued on the front seat to cover some of the holes.

It has the stock running gear from the 170/6 w/2 speed fordomatic to the unexciting 3.5:1 rearend.

I am the second owner and have enjoyed it for 13 years, although I have owned it for 15 years. (It took me a while to work through the five stages of grief after my total brake failure.

1) Panic
2) Fear
3) Change of shorts
4) install an upgrade - I chose the Dual Master Cylinder upgrade although the disc conversions would have been wonderful.
5) acceptance

See you on the street or at the next club meeting.
