Thank you for the reply, but one of the conditions I forgot to list is original style headlights. Everything else here looks good.

You mean something like this flared SWC?
I would sell it but you only want a 66-67

Rickenbach

I would certainly consider an SWC, but I've found most owners overestimate the value of car that was perfected 4 years later. Now that the Testarossa is becoming more valuable the same thing is happening with the high single mirrors, that were once the cheapest TR available. That being said I was headed 1800 miles away in Maryland to purchase a car just like yours but with bubble flares, but it was sold before I could get out of the state. If you are looking for a reasonable price I would surely consider your car.

Here is what that 63 could look like

Rickenbach

I agree, but I could buy a '66/67 already like that for considerably less than the '63 that still needs $$$ to look like that.

Did you guys see the 66 in the Classifieds?

66 Coupe Drag Car $20K


Candidate for autocrosser?

Rickenbach

I saw it. The owner was more interested in convincing that me he was wealthy than explaining about the car.

redsplitwindow

I feel much differently than the OP.
He feels A car that is "Inferior" is worth less money.
That couldn't be farther from the truth in unique situations.
Try buying a 63 ZO6 is it worth less money because the 2016
Makes it "Inferior" NO is the answer,or the "Inferior" Ferrari that
Just sold for 36 million when there's Ferraris that could out perform it all day.The OP doesn't believe in "collectibility".
For those of you looking for an Autocrosser,there's a real retired one for sale In Manchester MD,guys name is Ron.
Search projects on Carsonline.com.He has one with bubbled type of flares.
Sorry but the SWC bring more money because of the collectibility,and
There not inferior......Please

redsplitwindow

He has a couple cars listed on Baltimores Craigslist.
You can contact him thru there.
He has projects and body's for sale from time to time also

Rickenbach

You are arguing apples and oranges. I'm not trying to impress anybody, so collectibility doesn't enter the equation. Compared to a 63, you get a car that already has improved performance, braking, interior comfort, and visibility in the 67. The car in MD is the car I told you about in PMs. It is already sold. I would buy that car in spite of being a SWC, not because of it. I can't believe somebody would get so butt hurt that I don't see the SWC as the pinnacle of Corvette ownership.

redsplitwindow

I'm not butt hurt????
I personally don't believe any of the C2s are inferior to each other.
Those were your words not mine.
I'm a fan personally of the 66,I was born that that year.
Early ones were rated at 450hp,there rated as second fastest muscle car of all time to the original 66 SC427 Cobra.
I also prefer the 3 Gills in the front fender to the 63-64 or 67s.
Splits are my second love.
None are Inferior,one brings more money than another because that's what the market dictates.
Tri powered 67 by many is cream of the crop,including myself.
I've owned dozens of these cars,and with the limited miles we all put on these cars I also don't see the big difference in Drum Brakes to Disc
Personally.Autocrossing yes big difference,but tooling around town No.
I will PM you with any Project Coupe I come across.
I see them every once in a while.Im 15 minutes from Watkins Glen
I don't know if they compete there or not?
I will excuse myself for being on the Salty side.
Where here for the same reason.
Best Wishes
Dave

The problem with written communication is the tendency to read more into a post than intended. The unfortunate byproduct of shrinking the world via the Internet. As I said, your SWC is worth what you are asking, just not to my needs. If ever in Western Colorado let me know, I'll buy you a beer, or two, or.....

redsplitwindow

I will be back out there we went Xmas of 2014 for
A Bronco game.Denver is beautiful.
Like to drink beer.
I look daily,We will you something!!!
Thanks
