Of the approximate 3,100 '63 total, 1770 are split windows.

I'd guess that a good number survive, at the very least double that figure and most probably quite a bit higher.

I would love to hear from '63 owners who would contribute to this file.

I have yours listed as described. What is your cars Body number?
32 yrs is fantastic! I've had my old Saddle Coupe for 23 or so.

837 coupe, job number 476. JO# was still very evident in red crayon on the wall in front of the gas tank.

Congrats Johnny!
What a sweet purchase!
I do not have any info for your new '63 #1,778. Could you please tell me it's original colors and if it has any power options? Is it a 4spd?
Also, what is it's Body number from your trim tag if you don't mind??

Thanks Johnny!

SWCs are one of the very coolest cars of the 20th century. But half of 1963 production was convertibles, let's see more of those topless beauties!

Ha! No one seems to care about 63 convertibles

Even though it was first year of new design with some cool features they don't seem to be that collectible. Bummer.

When I bought my '63 roadster, it was mainly because they were so underpriced as compared to '65-67s.

I still think they are one of the best Corvette buys on the market today.

Thanks!

Hi john,
Beautiful looking '63!
I did not have it recorded. Is it an original Riverside Red car? Body number?
Also, what color is your soft top?

Congrats!
Syd

Hi Guys,
Need some help...looking at a 63 split drag car (super/stock)
There are no tags on the car.
Owner says the title he has contains the original vin for the car...
30837S111204
Of coarse my concern is this tag may be on another car.
Any info or help would be appreciated.
