UP FOR AUCTION IS A VINTAGE 1963 CORVETTE SPLIT WINDOW CUSTOM COUPE. THIS CAR PRESENTLY IS YELLOW WITH BLACK VINYL INTERIOR. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A (NOM) 350CI SMALL BLOCK, 2 1/2" OEM SIDE EXHAUST, CHROME VINTAGE CRAIGER WHEELS, HURST SHIFTER, HOLLEY INTAKE & CARB., MALLORY IGNITION & AN L88 STYLE HOOD. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, THE HIGHEST BIDDER WINS THE CAR! ORIGINALLY THIS CAR WAS A RARE DAYTONA BLUE COUPE WITH DARK BLUE VINYL INTERIOR CODES 916A / 490J. THE TACH SHOWS A 6500 RPM RED LINE WHICH WOULD BE CORRECT FOR EITHER A 327CI 340HP OR 360HP FUEL INJECTION. SINCE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT DOES NOT HAVE PROVISIONS FOR A FUELIE I BELIEVE IT WAS A 340HP. ITS OTHER OPTIONS ARE 4 SPEED, POWER BRAKES & AM/FM RADIO. THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY FROM THE NORTHEAST AND WAS TRANSPORTED DOWN TO FLORIDA IN 1970 WHERE THE 2ND OWNER MOVED TO RAISE HIS FAMILY. ACCORDING TO HIS SURVIVING WIFE THE ODOMETER WITH 41,824 MILAGE IS REAL. EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HAVE SOME CUSTOM CHANGES IT DOES LOOK CLEAN! YOU CAN USE THIS CAR AS IS, MODIFY IT TO YOUR LIKING OR EVEN BRING IT BACK TO ORIGINAL CONDITION. IF RESTORED BACK TO ORIGINAL, 1 YEAR ONLY 63 SPLIT WINDOW COUPES, GO FOR $80,000! IN MY OPINION THIS IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH WITH MANY OF THE CUSTOM DETAILS BOLTED ON & EASILY CHANGED BACK. THE DASH LOOKS CLEAN, MOST OF THE GAUGES WORK EXCEPT FOR THE AMP GAUGE WHICH IS PINNED DOWN & WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS DISCONNECTED. THE 2ND OWNER SAID THE WATER TEMP. WAS INACCUATE. SO, HE INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET TEMP. GAUGE ON THE RIGHT OF THE CONSOLE. NOTE; OVER THE YEARS REPRO TEMP. SENDERS, IN THE INTAKES, WERE SOLD WITH THE WRONG RESISTANCE VALUE. THIS CAUSED THE OEM GAUGE TO READ INCORRECTLY, MY BET THIS IS WHY & THE GAUGE PROBABLY IS FINE! THERE WAS SOME RECENT SERVICING TO THE CAR TO MAKE IT ROADWORTHY. THE FRONT END "A" ARMS WERE REFINISHED, THE WATERPUMP, RADIATOR, BELT & BATTERY WERE PEPLACED. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WELL & HAS GOOD WORKING ORIGINAL 4 WHEEL POWER DRUM BRAKES. THE PREVIOUS OWNER KEPT MANY OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS REMOVED OVER THE YEARS. WITH THIS CAR YOU'LL RECEIVE THE FRONT BUMPERS WITH ORIGINAL MOUNTING BRACKETS & THE ORIGINAL HOOD. I'M HELPING TO SELL THIS CAR FOR GOOD FRIEND. HE LOVES THE SHAPE OF THE CAR BUT DUE TO HIS HEIGHT, 6' 5" TALL, HE DOESN'T FIT IN THE CAR. (HIS HEAD HITS THE ROOF WHEN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT) THE CAR IS PRESENTLY LOCATED IN FLORIDA. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS EMAIL ME OR CALL TOM'S VETTE SHOP @ 631-242-4276 & I WILL GET THEM ANSWERED.
