Default 1963 Convertible

Car sold to dealer in MO pending payment. He say the car here first. Looker that came today noticed a mistake on the title, a 5 substituted for an S. Notified buyer and he said no problem and maybe 1 out of 5 have some title mistake.

For more pictures: https://63corvetteverte.weebly.com/ or my forum album

The car has clearly had a top quality restoration, but not as an original car, and not as a restomod. This car was restored to be a very nice driver. This is a 327 300 hp. It had power steering and the brake master cylinder was upgraded to a dual master cylinder . And then it had aftermarket knock off wheels added to it, and a 4 wheel disc brake upgrade. So, what we have is a car that was given a high quality restoration, but originality was sacrificed in favor of drive-ability. This car was purposely built by me with the intention of keeping the car as my own personal driver, and then too many antique cars in the stable caused me to put the car up for sale. Never been flooded, clear Texas title in my name.

Has been built as a driver with a 327 engine, rack and pinion steering, 5 speed transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes, power rack and pinion steering, Vintage Air, new stock exhaust system and new Al Knoch interior. Comes with both convertible and hard tops. Owned since 2010. Car can be viewed in my garage on a 4 post lift. Everything has been sorted on the car with a fresh body on restoration just completed this year. Why buy a fixer when you can get one already done?

Frame on restoration
Motor was been milled in the past so no VIN on motor,
461 heads have been overhauled and hardened seats installed.
New base/clear paint in original white just a few hundred miles since paint, by one of the best Corvette shops in Houston

New door cards
New Vintage Air
New 5 speed Keisler transmission
New Al Knoch interior
New stock exhaust.
New bumpers
New Flaming river rack and pinion power steering
New Flaming river steering column
New dual MC and all new brake lines. 4 wheel disc brakes
Newly updated original radio to modern am/fm by Electro-Tech
Newly rebuilt 3261s carburetor
Renewed front/rear suspension including new trailing arms
Repro bolt on knock offs.
3 point seat belts
Spare tire holder and S10 lightweight spare
Hardtop has been restored inside. Included is a cart to store the hardtop.
Very good condition frame with no rust in the usual Corvette places.

Will ship overseas.

At your asking price I figured it would go quick! My guess it's either going to Kaiser, MO or St. Charles.
