Default History of a Black 63 split?

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.

Hi everyone,
My brother purchased a black 63 split coupe 2 years ago and we are trying to obtain the history on the car. We requested the information from the State of Missouri and the stated it is not allowed to give out the Information because of the privacy act. Does anyone know how to sidestep this law and obtain very important information? The VIN is 30837S108535. Would love to talk.

I tried in Pennsylvania several years ago and had the same results. Privacy laws prevent it. I don't think it can be done.

Sorry but the very best that you can do is to join the NCRS and then purchase for $40.00 a shipping data report that will tell you when the car was built and to which dealer it was delivered to new. From there you can try and start a search but very few have ever had any luck that way.
As already stated privacy laws prevent any past ownership information from being shared.

Good luck

Hi Dave,
Very solid advise from deejaydu. Join NCRS and then request the Shipping Data Report for your brother's '63 and chances are they will send you a letter with the dealer and location it was originally delivered to in 1963. As I've written before, I received my shipping report and with this knowledge was able to track down the owner of the now closed dealership in upstate NY where my car was ordered in '63. I spoke to him and he instantly remembered my coupe and told me who the original owner was and he led me to the family who owned it until 1967. Without this report I probably would have never found the original owner. I also posted an Information Wanted ad in the NCRS Driveline magazine years earlier and was contacted by another owner who had my car around 1969-70. It seems that I'm now just missing one other owner between '67 - '69.

Dave could you please tell me a bit more about your brothers Coupe #8,535. Is it originally Tuxedo Black? What color is the interior? Engine hp and transmission type etc. and also what is it's body number?

Thanks and good luck with your history search!
It took me awhile with mine but is very interesting to do and rewarding if you keep at it.

Default 63 SWC Orig Paint

New to the Forum...getting started...wanting to share photo of the SWC I bought last year...wish you could see the 'patina' of the original paint in person...this photo makes the car look like it has been repainted, but I bought it because of the original paint...difficult to find 'excellent/original/unrestored' in a car like this

Just a suggestion... start a new thread down in the General section so the other members can see it and you can tell us more about your beautiful car. A lot of members dont venture up into the "Sticky" area.

Hi Barnfinder,
Welcome to the forum. Beautiful picture of your split!
My '63 is also Saddle/Saddle so I've got a special interest in seeing more pictures of your car!
Could you please tell me your cars serial number and engine/tranny combo? Does it have leather, power options? Also, what is it's body number?

Thanks!
Syd
