Columbia Firebolt

Can someone confirm the year of this bike? Does everything look original? I was told it was a 1963.

1963 seems right @Superman1984

Yeah the "Unitized" frames were 63-64.
@johnmp12 It looks to be all original & or restored. Here's the serial charts I use for Columbia bikes. They should be on the left rear drop out / may need ro remove the axle nut to read it fully

There is no serial number that I can find either on the dropout or bottom bracket.

The Serial Number is not on the wheel drop out or at least it is not visible on my firebolt.

Nice bike you have there, by the way.

Thanks. I've been wanting to sell it for quite a while but haven't felt like dealing with the shipping.
