1963 Corvette Roadster - NCRS Top Flight

Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1963

Thank you for taking the time to learn about this rare Corvette roadster.

In 1963, nly 21,513 Corvettes were made. About half of those were roadsters. And out of all the roadsters, ess than 2000 had the 250 HP engine. Less than 300 roadsters came with the Daytona Blue paint and a .355 positraction rear axle.

This rare 1963 roadster has all the options listed above, ut what makes it particularly rare is this car has not been restored. The original inspection markings, uild number (marked on the fiberglass with a crayon) and other factory markings are as this Corvette came from the factory. Not someones idea of what they think it should look like.

As the photo's show, ost of the markings remain in the car. Note the VIN number tag. The original VIN tag was spot welded to the bird cage. In the beginning, he spot welds where made through the paint, hich made the attachment weak. Many times the tags would fall off. Not long into production, he paint was ground off the area where the VIN tag was attached, aking the spot weld adhere. If the VIN tag has paint in the area were is was originally placed, s the tag original? At a minimum, t is not attached in the original fashion. Note the photo of the VIN tag, he paint is clearly ground away. This is the exact, riginal factory installation. Alsonote the engine pad (VIN number followed by F0I29RC) has the correct and original stampings and broach marks.

Its originality is supported by numerous NCRS Top Flight Awards (the latest in 2007) and a Founders Award. I rarely drive the car, nly enough to exercise it and keep it in top mechanical condition. And less than 500 miles since the 2007 Top Flight. So, he Top Flights are representative of the cars current condition.

This Corvette runs and handles like a dream. I would not hesitate to take it on a road trip. Since it does get driven, t does show some wear. Minor chipping in the paint and light wear inside. But as you can see, he paint has been well taken care of. All the gages work, ncluding the clock. It is an early 63, o it has the AM radio with the wonderbar signal seeker which also works as original.

This, ith all the original pieces (to many to list -the picture of the original T3 headlights is an example), ake this a truly rare and unique investment.Not seen in the pictures is the white top. Also unique is this is a soft top only car.
