This 1963 Corvette is a very good overall presentable car. New repaint in base coat clear coat in 2016. The paint was overall done well with the exception of the door jamb areas where they could have spent alittle more time on. The doors line up well and have the original glass in them. The car does run down the road good and the engine is strong and does not need rebuilding. It appears to have been done at sometime and still has many correct components such as intake, oil pan, harmonic balancer, and even the original valve covers with no seams. The carburetor was replaced with an Edelebrock one with an electric choke and does have a set of headers on the engine. We did just have the engine tuned and is running excellent. A new engine wiring harness has been installed along with a new fuel pump. The exhaust has been replaced. The engine appears to be the original one and not a typical restamp as most are these days. I have been around these cars for sometime and the way the engine pad stamp looks is excellent! The broach marks are just distinct enough as they should be. That is one of the main reasons that attracted me to this car. The car has only the hardtop and no softop. The hardtop is complete and was repainted with the car but was not completely disassembled when done. The windshield has been replaced at one time. The interior has also been redone several years ago. It does present itself good but not perfect. We did install a new set of Al Knock door panels just recently. It does have the correct seats, instruments, clock, and shifter, but the console and glovebox door is from a 1964 and later model. Aftermarket radio that does fit vertically in the same slot. Seatbelts are replacements. Those items can be found and put back in if desired. The gauges all are original and not restored and most all work except the odometer and clock. The actual instrument cluster housing itself is good with no pitting around the edges. Tachometer and speedometer do work. The dash pads are also original ones and have had a few repairs done over the years and are good driver quality. The headlights do operate and have had rebuilt motors recently. The hood appears also to be an original one and this car being a mid production one still has the hood blocks like it should. With the exception of the added fender flares the car looks original. Those fender flares have been done along time probably back in the late 70's or early 80's and I will have to say there are no cracks or places coming up in them. They were done well for back in the day and have held up. The taillights are stock and have not been altered with the bumpers still intact and the front parking lights are still there and have not been shaved off or the headlights glassed in as many were done. You could put the fenders back stock if desired down the road. The front bumpers and brackets are missing.
The chassis on the car and engine compartment are not all that bad. You can clearly see the original fiberglass floors as those are in real good shape. No one has ever patched them up or undercoated the underside of the car. The frame is excellent. Not even any real pitting and is fairly nice and smooth. The shocks and fuel tank have been replaced. Also the car has added front disc brakes. We have since installed a new dual master cylinder like the 67 models came out with that works better with the disc brakes. (Photos shown here do not show the new master cylinder). The wheels and tires on the car are new and they are American Racing Torque Thrust size 15x8 and tires are BF/GoodRich Radial T/As P255 60/R15.
Most things work on the car but I do know the wipers, clock,emergency brake and radio are not working. I have not had the time to troubleshoot those things.I also can give you the two previous owners name and numbers on the car and I also have copies of those titles.
The corvette is a nice presentable car that you would not be ashamed of. You can simply leave it like it is or change a few things toincrease its value as it does have the correct engine and the very sought after and desirable 340 h.p. engine.
