Hi Auto5,
I have your '63 #6,500 recorded as being a Daytona Blue/Blue 300 4spd Coupe. That's all the info I have on your car. Is this correct?
Could you please tell me your Body number? I'll take a stab and say it's #3,521 ?

Thanks!
Syd

Hi Gary,
I had your '63 #12,934 listed exactly as you described. Once again the only info I'm missing for your car is it's body number.
I have '63 #12,935 listed as being a Silver Blue/Blue 300 4spd Coupe

Thanks,
Syd

Hi Mike,
I have your '63 #19,935 listed as being a Blue/Blue NOM Roadster and also have it's body number recorded.
Would you know what transmission type it originally had and what hp? Soft top color?
I now noted that it lives in NZ!

Thanks Mike,
Syd

Good research, I'm grateful you're doing it.
Oh this car is in WI

Does anyone know where this car is, now? My parents bought it around 1974 while we were in Genoa, NE. It was originally Sebring Silver, but there was another silver '63 in town, so my dad had it painted Silver Blue. After he died in 1981, my mother kept it and put my name on the title as well (my brother didn't want it). However, she had to sell it in 1988 to help build a house. She had more Vettes over the years, but always regretted selling that one.

My mother passed away 4 months ago, and I now have 2 of her Vettes, an '84 and an '11. While she bought both of those new, I had already moved out of the house and started my own life in '80, so they don't mean as much to me as the '63 did. I'd really like to find the car, if nothing else just to offer some history, pictures and maybe if the stars align, buy it back.

It is manual 4 speed. Not sure of HP as no original motor and soft top is missing only a frame

No responses to this post looking for # 105584, last seen in this thread in 2014. Is there a better place to search for who might have it now?

I bought it a while back but just now getting around to start working on it. Sold my other one a couple of years ago. This one needs paint but it does run and drive. I will be getting it out of storage soon and then I will post some pictures.

Hi Syd, Just thought I'd update my '63 convertible #13696 for you. You probably have it listed as a black/black fuelie (NOM), but now its silver/silver.

Default Rick's 63 SWC



Love the Forum. More darn information on Vettes than I will ever absorb! I own VIN 30837S116742. Should be an SWC in Sebring Silver, Blue Interior, 327/300 with a 4-speed. At least that's what's parked in the garage

BTW: Forgot to ask--how many 63's, both SWCs and verts, still exist?

Default New License


Thought it would be appropriate to add a pic of the new, personalized, Nevada license! Can't believe it was still available.

Hi Jay,
Sorry for taking a bit to reply as I was away on Cape Cod. I saw only one old Vette on the rd and yes it was a Silver Split Window tearing around a corner as i approached! It went by in a flash.
I had your '63 #8,105 listed in my file but had it down as a Blue/Blue 4spd Coupe. I had a notation that it might be a 340 and NOM and that it was now FI?
I'll make the corrections.
Pretty rare Blue/Red coupe as you already know!

Thanks Jay!
Syd

Nice! They finally just started allowing personalized plates here in QC and that's the one I was thinking of ordering.

JD,
Have you tried sending a message to plumber75?
Also, maybe place an "info wanted" ad in the NCRS Driveline mag as another suggestion.
Good luck!

Syd
