| “"This is a fairly unmolested and solid 1963 Corvette roadster which the current owner has owned for over 35 years. Headers have been installed which also required discarding the factory alternator bracket, since this mounted to the stock exhaust manifolds….the chrome sparkplug wire shielding has also been discarded. On the plus side, the majority of the original 923 Riverside Red paint is still on the vehicle and has held up well. The car is equipped with the desirable L76 340hp 327 cubic inch V8 which is coupled to a four speed manual transmission. Hardtop and power windows were also included however the original Delco Remy radio has been discarded and an aftermarket unit has been installed in its place. Seats have been reupholstered but carpet remains original. A set of aftermarket cast aluminum knock off replica wheels have also been installed."” |

Vehicle description
This beautiful, original machine has been in my possession for over 35 years. Unfortunately, it"s time for me to part with her, a tough decision I might add. It"s been driven a few hundred miles each summer and then carefully stored through every winter. I have not had the hardtop on the car in over 20 years. It"s been wrapped and placed in storage. Summertime simply requires the top to be down, thus the hardtop has remained in storage. Last Fall along came a gift from 50 years ago, Agent Orange-caused cancer. I"m doing well but my leg no longer allows me to get in and out of the car very easily. It"s time for others to enjoy it.
The photos are not retouched nor altered. They were uploaded at full resolution so you can better review its condition. If you are interested I"ll email additional images, there are more than what is displayed in this ad.
All numbers match and of course , the engine is the original. The Condition Description above and the following comments are from the professional appraiser .
Appraisers Summary/Comments: "This car remains in very good basically unmolested condition with the exception of a few somewhat easily obtainable parts. For the Corvette purists, cars like this are hard to find. Even the paint remains acceptable and I certainly would not repaint it. The 340hp engine is also very desirable and is only topped by the fuel injected 360hp version. Internet sources show me that 6978 Corvettes were produced this year with the 340hp engine. The car does deserve a premium for its originality. I will place an overall condition code on this vehicle of #3. (Condition code: #1 Excellent, #2 Fine, #3 Very Good, #4 Good/Fair, #5 Poor/Restorable, #6 Parts Car)."
And the lucky person who chooses to cruise in this wonderful car will receive a digital copy of "Little Red Corvette" at no extra cost. Really! Who could resist that offer?
A final note: I"d possibly take a C6 convertible as partial trade. I"ve tried them and I can get in and out of those cars without much difficulty. But the buyer/trader would still get the "Little Red Corvette" bonus.
