Rare factory air conditioning and automatic transmission, needs restore

Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1963

This car needs a complete restore. It is a very rare split window with factory air and also factory automatic transmission. From the best I can tell. in 1963. only 278 were made with factory air. I can only assume a fraction of those had the non standard automatic transmission option making this a very rare find indeed. I was told that the car had been restored and shortly thereafter was involved in a front end collision which resulted in the car being garaged for many years. I am no expert but it appears the frame is bent and would need straightening. I have never started the motor and don't know if it is even functional but it looks like a 327. This car is far from complete and is missing the front nose and many other pieces associated that were damaged in the accident. I do not know if the numbers match as I haven't checked the stamp on the engine. The odometer list 13264 miles but I have no idea if those are actual or if it has flipped so I would not rely on that as I have no knowledge of what transpired over the past 50 years of this car's life. I have not had the car long and do not know the history of it so sadly there are many questions that I just can't answer. I acquired this car from the daughter of the original owner but I have determined that this project is too time consuming for me at this time. This car needs an owner who can restore her correctly. There are several large plastic bins filled with parts for this car that come with the purchase. This car is for sale locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

I don't even know for certain if the air and transmission are factory or additions. just relaying what was told to me by the previous owner. Most the people that have contacted me have known more about the car just looking at the pictures than I ever will. I have added the vin and body tag pictures as well as a closeup of the dash. This car is sold as is with no warranties express or implied.
