Ernie, if you have the VIN, let us know as some of us may already have info about the car in our personal files.

Re: 63 Vette inspection

Ernie, nothing in my file and it's not in the C2 Registry.

Hopefully someone can volunteer to go take a look or has info in their files.

All I can see from the VIN is that it's a early coupe.

Good Luck.

Re: 63 Vette inspection

If you google the VIN, you will see it has some recent auction history. Sold for 85800 at 2009 Russo and Steele. I hope somebody can look at it for you. Looks like a nice car.

Re: 63 Vette inspection

Looking at the previous sales offerings, you're gonna need a radiator, a T-10 (+T-10 shifter links) and a master cylinder - and judging from the corrosion around the trim tag, a trip up on the hoist with a punch and a hammer test on the frame...maybe even a magnet for bondo testing of
the frame rails....
Color is a nice combination, but shows dust immediately...my 1st Corvette was a '63 coupe in this color....300HP....nope, not this car.....but the cowl back with only the VIN left was at Lincoln's in WA 15 yrs ago and then got sold...no doubt a red FI car by now..
