63 Split Window Arrived Today!
What is better than owning two red Corvettes, owning THREE red Corvettes!
I have been thinking about buying this car for over a year but my 1960 build got in the way
I finally decided I could not take it any more and I went ahead and bought it today. It helps that my wife gave me permission too
It is a nice numbers matching driver with a 327/250, 4 speed and power brakes. It is an original Riverside Red/Black Interior.
It needs a lot of detail work under the hood and underneath the car. I found out it has a leaking radiator so I pulled it for replacement tonight and I figured while I have it out I will go ahead and paint the engine bay and install Vintage Air while I am at it
This is my first mid year so I welcome any thoughts or guidance on things to be on the look out for in a 63.
Now the fun begins.

The two bar knockoffs caught my eye. What's the story there?

Congratulation!
I have two C-1’s but I am looking for a mid-year coupe for my collection.
I sold my 65 Jetstar88 conv. and now I have a hole in my garage and money in my pocket, a bad combination.

They caught my eye as well. I don't believe any ever came with the cars in 63 from the factory even though it was supposed to be an option. They look great on it. Very unique. Nice car 
Great looking 63.
almost bulletproof

The wheels are a bit different and I do not know much about them. Basically they are a bolt on steel wheel with a rubber finned cone that is held on with the 2 blade spinners. Pretty sure they are not correct but they do look cool. This is a very early car, 1884 built in 62.
I have not had them off but since I have a sticky brake I am going to pull the wheels later tonight and replace the wheel cylinders.

Well, that's something I haven't seen before. Look pretty much like real knockoffs at 10 ft or more I guess.
