I predict a record price for an UN-split window '63 coupe with unavailable discs and '65 fender gills! NCRS throws a tantrum.

Pink and Powerglide.

Turn in your man card if you even think about buying that car.

Love the car. Ordering a white vette in Feb. and having it painted pink. Don't think my husband will mind driving it, smiles.

I always wanted a numbers matching custom modified Corvette.

The interior sure has a rainbow of colors. Not something I would like even as a collector car. Note the very low down front end attitude.

The whole body is not 63, how did they get away with that? Totally wrong body or correct body and just changed the info on the title.

I guess there was one coupe in 63 that did not have the spine.....from the factory.

"How did they get away with that?"

No doubt. He could get his Vettes anyway he liked and obviously he did. He liked the custom show look. Hell he just about invented that look. Only fitting his personal cars would have similar appearances.

What looks great in an Autorama. Looks a little over the top on the street sometimes.

Definitely not my cup of tea, but some museum will pay big for it I imagine. Too bad it's not going to the Bowling Green museum, that's where it belongs.
