Photos! Just picked up 63 SWC
This is the link to the original thread on this car.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c1-a...or-63-swc.html
Just got home from picking it up and I wanted to provide photos details, issues observed etc. I will update photos in the morning once I get it out of the trailer and with better light.
Photo # 1 As found location where it sat for 5 years.
Tires flat, very dusty, no leaks or drip cleanups on floor or undercarriage.
Had a cover on it put must not have been dust proof.
Photo # 2 In trailer.
Wheels not seized after sitting, surprised.
Photo # 3 more in trailer shot
Photo # 4 more in trailer.. tires will be first thing to go, repo knock offs.
Photo # 5 the rig.
Had what appears to be real window sticker. unsure, will have expert look at it.
owners manual repop.
parking brake worked.
Got her home, dusted well and mcGuiars detail spray, paint way more presentable and glossy than I thought.
zero defect around headlights, doors etc.
Ill fitting hood caused rubbing on front corner of hood and one small blemish near gas tank, no spider cracks anywhere to be found on initial inspection.
more info / photos to come.
Not a trailer queen but good potential.
My mechanic was surprised on the frame and overall stuff.
Will go through proper prep, tomorrow before attempting to start after 5 years.
Previous owner loaded up the back up my pick up truck with everything that was off car, all shielding, spare tire carrier, 4 brand new brake drums ( had for several years), missing interior trim pieces, glove box full of steve win wood and billy ocean cd's ( will return in mail), old car show photos, dozens of photos from them and the car over the years they had for 18 plus years.

A black split window... What's not to like? Congrats on the purchase. I definitely have Corvette envy.
