Hello There; My 1st post & I am sure this is the right place for restoring my 62 F85 ragtop

 

new to the forum & looking for advice to but restoration parts for my 62 F-85 ragtop

 

I am doing the same. I'm not selling any parts at this point but have picked up a few points of info from the forum and parts searching on my own. I'm kinda new here too. There are several members with some good info.

 

Welcome both. What specifically do you need? Be aware that the 1961-63 cars are not well supported in the aftermarket and very little is available in the way of repro parts. There are no body panels or trim available. Suspension, steering, and brake parts are also difficult to find, though Kanter sells complete kits. You can find some brake parts (mainly master and wheel cylinder rebuild kits) at NAPA. Engine parts are pretty easy, as the 215 was built by Rover for nearly four decades after GM sold them the design. The Rotohydramatic 5 is unique to these cars and can be tough to get parts for. The rear axle is similarly unique to the 61-63 F-85 and Skylark. Steele Rubber does have just about all the rubber parts, however. Good luck.
