It was built either Nov 3rd or Mar 3rd (depending on whether that is C3 or G3) And it was white, with some color vinyl interior. I won't address the engine stamp.
EDIT: OK, I see where you have another thread about the engine stamp and you were given the correct info there. The engine is from a 62 full size 327 chevy with powerglide.

In 1963 model year the trim tag date code is month/week of production so C3 stands for third week of March, I suspect based on your vin it was early in the third week. 490M I believe indicates red vinyl interior, looks like its a white/red convertible built the third week of March 1963 and that it has a passenger car block.
