The first one is a 73.
The second one looks like a 63. What have you found?

To be precise, the second VIN was built in October 62 for the 63 model year.

Thanks fig
so that settles it my Dc is a 73 model
Now the second one is more interesting sadly
it is not what I have found but what someone else did
How much would you or expect to pay for a complete running 63 SC pickup
all be it that there are a few minor parts missing.

63 SC sounds cool! Will the new owner join the forums?
Pick-ups are always hard to find in good condition because they were usually worked to death by builders and sheep farmers and the like.

Hi
yes some lucky sod did pick up a 63 ScC for a ridiculas bargain
Storey goes that some guy did some work for someone else and this guy could not pay him and was given the SC to keep untill he was paid which never happened the SC was parked in a garage for about 9 years.
As my friend has a couple of combis and bugs in his front yard this guy approached my friend and said that he has a split Bakkie standing in his garage and wanted to know if my friernd was interested.
Anyway to cut a long story short the guy wanted R7,000.00 but my friend said that he only had ........
Wait for it.......

That story sucks for two reasons...
1) I am not the guy that paid R5000 for that sc
2) I would love to ovn a split sc.....
Awesome for your friend though!!!!
Can't wait to see some pictures!!!

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.
