'63 Sunbeam Value & Sale?

Sadly, my husband of 30+ years passed away 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I cannot maintain all his hobbies (as much as I wish I had the time and energy), so the '63 Sunbeam that we purchased from Wheeler Dealers must be sold. It is the Sunbeam you see at the top of the page. I'm wondering if anyone in the Club could give me an idea of value and good mechanism for sale that won't include meeting in Starbuck's parking lots.

We have driven it little since we purchased it and in the last 6 months, even less. I don't like watching it sit. It needs to be driven and I only have so many hours in the day. I did start it up last week and it started right up and sounds strong.

Since the purchase from Mike Brewer and Co., Frank Monise of Monise Motors (Montclair) did quite a lot of work to it for us, including brakes, transmission, upholstery and we put the original seats back in.

Included are a few pictures. (I guess I can do this here...?) If not, please feel free to let me know the rules of the site.Alpine Memorial Park 08-05-16.jpgIMG_2091.JPG

Very sorry to hear this news. Your husband was very good to me when buying some of his left over parts.
A very nice car and I suspect will sell quickly.

Cindy, You can post all the pictures and make any comments you wish.

More of the Alpine would sure help a prospective buyer.

If you need any help just ask..... Our Guys are always willing to assist a Sunbeam owner.

Your City and State would also be a noteworthy addition to your post.

Very sorry for your loss, Cindy. It's always too soon.
On a practical note, you may want to edit your post to remove your phone number, and give it to people by private message instead.
Later tonight, I'll look up the posts regarding the purchase of the car, to introduce it to them or refresh their memory.

I agree will be very interesting. Nice color. Appears to be a GT which could be considered a negative in some climates - I hope the buyer understands this!

Great looking, and cool Alpine to own. Interesting that it apparently still needed brake and transmission work, but, at least that’s been taken care of for the next owner.
