Did not have info for your car but have now included it....thanks!!
Your Coupe was built only 61 cars after mine!
What is the Body number? I'd guess about #8,015 or so.

For what its worth I have some numbers taken from a preview of noland's book? that was from one of the vette mags in the 80s.
PW and saddle
364 coupes had PW and saddle interior 490 vinyl 898 leather so less than 364 had leather.

Many people here, they think every Corvette from C1 to present is a Sting Ray. Some younger people, with a pitiful smile when the old, tall man 1,92m, trys to get in or out of his '58
They prefer their modern asian, high tuned ,,Rice cooking machines''

That's another question I wanted to try and answer when I started listing these cars together:
What is the rarest color for '63 as only 3 out of 7 paint option totals are recorded for the year??
From the get go and consistent to today on my research list, it appears that Saddle Tan is the rarest color for the year.
We will never know the real percentage but here's an indicator;
Based on 3,130+ cars listed to date, or just shy of 15% of 1963 total production, I have just 218 cars listed as being Saddle Tan.
Silver Blue follows with only 264 cars listed and then Tuxedo Black.
By comparison, over 700 cars are recorded claiming to be Riverside Red.
Of course, many of these cars were repainted Red etc. and this flaws the data but it does give you an idea.

Just out of curiousity, my friend owned a body shop in Milwaukee and converted several 63 coupes to the single rear window back in the day.
Do these cars count if they no longer have the split-window?

Syd,
I would venture to say you have no record of mine #2170, Daytona Blue/Dark Blue, base engine, pwr steering, and brakes, automatic. It was parked back in the mid '70s and has not seen the road since. I have listed it in the C2 Registry. Let me know if you have anything on it, as it was stripped when I got it two years ago.

419 Daytona Blue cars listed to date.
I've mentioned this before when discussing this list on the ncrs site a number of years ago, that I wondered where all the Daytona blue cars were hiding since the total lagged a bit.
They have started showing up more frequently the last few years and the total is rising at a better clip.
