Having had over 8 63SWC I liked it. It is not all about seeing how fast you can push a car, most of the time it is all about just looking cool in a classic Vette. If these cars are not restored for running hard, pushing one hard would be like asking your grand mother to run the Boston Marathon. Just not a good thing to do.

+1 on the period-style Halibrand-looking wheels. Looks like the wheel openings/lips have been trimmed up to the beltline for tire clearance, just like back-in-the day. Overall, a very attractive mild custom job!

Guys
this is actually my car running ( slow i know) on our local small track...video was made in order to try a new kind of camera made for shooting objects in motion. Next time i promise i will FLOOR it....by the way wheels are America Racing salt flat specials, just love them and yes it does have small sidemarkers/turn signals ,thats what the law dictates in Denmark....
