63 Z06 Value
Hey guys, I have a buddy who has a real deal 63 Z06 he might be selling. It has original 22,000 miles and it appears to be a tanker and possibly the only one in Australia, but that is irrelevant since the market is in the US for this sort of car. Why I say it appears to be a tanker is because it does'nt have the tank in place but you can see it did have one, the original owner discarded it so his grand kids could ride in the back! I know the market is a bit soft over there at the minute but what would be the possible price for this car, it is unrestored original but it was converted over in 1964 to r/h drive. I purchased for my buddy a Black 69 400Hp /air coupe at last year's Carlisle and he is not interested in the 63 any more. I would appreciate
your feedback on this question.
Cheers Brian.

Who do you use for your appraisals? Just curious as I know a lot of the guys who advertise in Hemmings, etc are not Corvette specialists but rather old car generalists.

Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg, MD - he is a restorer and also does warranty work for all the years - has a state-of-the-art dyno that is just awesome!
301-987-0565 and if you call him and talk with him, tell him Z06 Rick recommended you call - he has TWO Z06's himself
FYI - he prefers to see a car in person, but will work from photos and information and give you a "ball park" estimate on value of a car

Wonder how much was butchered in moving the steering wheel and gauge panel to the right side of the cockpit? Hope it wasn't "Bubba'ed".
As you know, the engine is offset to the right in the chassis, leaving a very crowded footwell on the passenger's (now presumably the driver's) side. You'd better have small feet to hit the pedals correctly.
Also would be interesting to see how the throttle linkage was converted to properly operate the FI, hydraulic perhaps?
I'd guess a minimum of $10,000 to have a professional reverse the Australian conversion, although the RHD might be a great conversation piece at events. "Corvette Summer" lives!
