----The reason I said the 2nd time is that in 1965 I saw this very car in Harley Earl's driveway in Palm Beach Fl. I was driving down A1A in a rented 65 Mustang convert with my then girlfriend and Harley's house was one of the few on the water side of A1A. There in the circular drive two Corvettes sat. Along with this Vette was a pearl pink coupe that Harley had built for his wife. A rather large lawn guy made it painfully clear that I wasn't allowed on the property so I stood on the other side of the road and drewled for about ten minutes and then slunk away.
----I know that the Pink 63 was also found, but I have no idea where it is today..….Bill S

Bill, I think you've seen and experienced everything a car guy could have. What an epic life sir!

The pink 63 with red interior and pink line tires was in the Special Collection years ago, Bill.

----Back then, Tim, both cars had Dayton wire wheels. JMO, but I think they looked better with them. I think I'm right that Bill Locke had something to do with the re-discovery of the pink car. I don't think the car got far away from Palm Beach, but I could be wrong...…..Bill S
