Real #s match Fuelie! Only 50 miles on a professional body off frame restoration to factory specs. This is a #s matching car throughout. Original "Black Plate" California car. We have the California plates that have been with this car since new and the registration to prove it! It's an early build, Nov 8 1962 with several unique early features: storage trays under the seats, frosted hubcaps, signal seek am radio, black oil fill tube and dip stick, T-10 trans, roller latch on fuel door, different spare tire carrier, short stem mirror and more.

EXTERIOR: This is one of the nicest mid-year Corvette bodies I've seen. It is absolutely straight, there's no signs of body work showing anywhere. I didn't find any cracking. Everything lines up probably better than it did when it was new. The doors click shut with ease. The headlights open and close properly. It has correct T-3 bulbs and fiberglass buckets. Repainted it's original Daytona Blue color and it's gorgeous. I'm sure it is polished much smoother and glossier than it was in 1963. All of the exterior chrome and trim was replaced or restored. Reproduction glass. We just installed brand new reproduction knock off wheels that look amazing. The original hubcaps will be included, they are very rare early caps with frosted centers.

INTERIOR: The dark blue interior is restored like new. It has the correct 6,500 redline tachometer for a fuelie and 60 lb oil pressure gauge for early cars. It also has the correct, original plastic glove box door unique to 63 only. It has the signal seeking AM radio, AM-FM didn't come out until later. It all looks great, fits great and functions great!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is a correct #s matching 327-360 hp fuel injected motor. I spent several hours on this car cross referencing date codes, casting numbers, stampings and everything checked out for me. We have a list and pictures of the codes in our pictures. Correct fuel injection unit, distributor, exhaust manifolds and air cleaner assembly. It also has deep groove pulleys for the high revving engine, correct alternator and larger pulley. Reproduction hoses and clamps, 1963 radiator and expansion tank. It has the upper and lower ignition shielding. Correct spring clamp battery cables. Every component looks like it's restored and properly installed. Wait until you here this run, it's a serious muscle car!

UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and all the components were taken apart, rebuilt and restored. This is the first year they offered independent suspension front and back. All the steering and suspension was rebuilt. These had drum brakes, the system was completely rebuilt. Hoses and lines replaced, e-brake is all hooked up. It has the correct style exhaust system with the polished slash cut tips going through the valance. Looking up at the motor it is spotless Chevy orange. It has correct starter, canister oil filter and it has the lower ignition shielding. The T-10 4-speed is VIN # matched to this car, dates and codes appear to line up too. Early cars had T-10s, then they switched to Muncie. It has the original 3.70 posi rear end. Dated and coded properly for this car. The frame and chassis components were prepped and painted a smooth gloss black. The fiberglass floors appear to be in excellent shape, I don't see any damage. It has the early production storage trays in the floor. It also has the correct early style spare tire carrier.

SERVICE: We inspected this car and it passed with flying colors. The only thing my shop did was add the new wheels and rebalance the tires.

This car really checked out. I spent a day researching the early 63s and this car is right! A split window is highly sought after. A frame off restored, #s matching fuelie car is the ultimate. The colors are great on this one too. I also think it's really cool it still has it's original California "Black Plates", it's lived in California it's entire life! This is an outstanding investment.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
