I will go ahead and include the remaining cars with a note showing that the info came from the C2 Reg, as I always do when I list a car from that source.

Btw, with these dozen cars from the Netherlands added to my '63 list I will have now surpassed the 20% of '63 production mark and have info in some form on 4,306 cars!

Thanks Sander!

Syd,

Any idea when the list will be available for public view? I sure would like to see it!

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,
Your new '63 convertible looks real nice next to 'Sting' in your picture!
I really don't have an idea yet. Every time it seems like the influx of newly discovered 63's are waning they start appearing again. This month alone I've added 21 new entries without much effort and that doesn't include the dozen cars from the Netherlands that I need to add in when I find the time.
Just thinking about the task of going through my list which is now about 100 pages long and auditing all the entries and notes gives me a headache but it will get done sooner than later at this point, or at least I think so.

Best regards Jon!

Hi John,
I've got #8,307 listed as a Blue/Red NOM? 340 4spd Roadster originally listed as hardtop only and now having a white soft top. With the engine from #907? It's body number lines up perfectly with other cars listed near it.

Thanks
Jay

Because I have one, I have asked him this question, I think you'll find his answer a page or two back! I personally know of three! Including mine! This is from 40 years at car shows, local, Bloomington gold, Carlisle, The Mecum auctions, Barrett Jackson Etc. this just proves that I'm getting old!

By the way, you can vote for mine, last day, in the sticky C2 cars of the month! !!! The way it's going, I may demand a recount

You have a beautiful car for sure. Is yours a 4 speed or powerglide. I edited my post to Syd to see if he knows how many of each.

Thanks

Hi Jay,
My list doesn't get into such fine specifics. What I can tell you is that I probably have something like 4-6 cars recorded as being Blue/Red, maybe 1 or 2 more? As discussed before, a pretty rare combo but perhaps not as rare as Saddle Tan/Red or Daytona Blue/Black.
I know that I have one car listed as being Silver Blue/Red!
With 4,300 cars listed, 2,422 are Coupes and 594 are said to be Daytona Blue. 487 cars are listed as being Powerglide Auto to date.

Syd

Hi RREEVES,
I had your car listed exactly as you describe along with it's body number.
So, your '63 is a real Z-06?

Thanks!

Great thank you Syd very much for the information. I have seen a saddle tan with red and a daytona blue with black but I have never seen a silver blue with red. In any event there do not seem to be very many in these colors. I am considering a daytona blue with red coupe with a 4 speed. You might already have it listed but I do not have the VIN at this time to know for sure. Thanks for all of you efforts to compile all of this data. It is very good information to know.

Can't find any proof that it was ever a z06,except for the early tank and had scoops on quarters at one time.

Doesn't have the big brakes or dual master cylinder, maybe be just a fuel car with the big tank and radio delete.

Hi JB,
I did not have your Roadster listed. Could you please tell me it's body number and if it's a 3 or a 4spd? Does it have power windows or brakes etc? Soft top color?
JB, are you saying that it now has the motor from '63 #18,333? I don't have that car listed either.

Thanks!
Syd
