That is a passenger car piece grafted in.

Looks just like the pods in my 63 Corvette.

Late version of the 63 bucket. Expensive if you need one.

Re: What year headlight bucket is this?

Looks like I've got '63 buckets then. Both are in good shape too! I'll need to order some headlight extension harnesses with the grommet (1963E version). Thank You!

Robert, where are the screw holes in your headlight bezels?

What you have is definitely a late 63 Corvette fiberglass bucket.

Re: What year headlight bucket is this?

Think this needs a bit more research. The pod in the first picture is from an early 63 car. The headlight bezel is from a late 63 car to 67. Do you have a picture with the pods removed? This is an early bezel with the mounting holes in the top front.



Late Bucket, bezel mounting holes are on the top sides.




Early Bucket, bezel mounting holes are on the top front.

If you look in his original posting you can see it is a late 63 fiberglass headlight bucket with the tabs on the side for the rim. Fiberglass buckets were used in 63 until the very last week of production possibly the last 10 cars (unverified)went to the 64 style bucket. The early buckets up to about serial number 14,000 have the screw coming in from the front into a fiberglass bucket.

Don, that is why I requested a picture without the pods.
