Very, very nice. Tell us more about it.

Hi! Heaven

Thanks for changing the listing. I have been trying to link pictures to my web site for some time and it finialy worked. I just purchased the 63 yesterday and plan on starting the restoration after the completion of the 61. The car is a low option 340HP with metalic breaks.

Thanks for the help!

SWEET! Will be nice to do a resto on a car that is in that good a shape to start with. Good Luck.

Congrads on the purchase. From one 63 Coupe owner to another, you will love it. Sometimes they are a real pain to restore, especially trying to find specialized one year parts, but the rewards you get for show one of the most loved Corvette are worth it. Tell us more about it....Exterior is that white or silver, and interior is???

I agree with Rowdy1 it looks great to me, drive it and enjoy it good luck

Thanks for all the great complements on the 63!

Collin, the exterior is white and the interior is black. I have the original dealer order sheet and the only options on the car are: 340HP engine, four speed transmission, positive traction, white wall tires, metallic breaks and am-fm radio. The car has been sitting in a barn for quite a few years and I really need to go through it before I register it for the road. The car is quite original, and all the major components are number correct. I only need to track down a few parts, a shifter, (now has a Hurst) air filter cover and a few other items. I am currently completing a frame-off on a 61 270 HP and burning the midnight oil trying to complete it before the July NCRS meet in Windsor, Canada.
