When I first saw that listing he wasn't trying to pass it off as a 63SWC. The add said it was a 64 with a 63 rear section. So I do think it's a acam or maybe someone bought it and thinks they can pass it off as a 63SWC.
I called him, it is reposted again. He was wondering how I knew it was not a 63 frame? How could I tell it was not 63 rear window trim? When I told him I was an educated buyer he then he said it is not his car. This is some ones 64 cp.

Yeah but the rear section if you look at the louvers behind the doors are from a 64 not from a 63.
The doors are very hard to fake on a coupe for 63...in addition to the raised door handle/lock pads as shown above, you have the stainless trim piece that goes forward of the vent window in a one-year-only recessed area of the door...

I can't see it from those pics - the lines for the doors, and the fronts of the side louvers, don't quite line up or something. I'm not doubting, just not getting there from the pic posted.
The only thing that gets me is the line on roof to rear window ,Tell me sometime along the way piecing this car together .They did sell roof pieces during the 80s .
A 64 that flipped over in a accident would make that argument ,with no vin makes it more so. I could tell what this car is in person Look at the side picture of driver side all
points to a 64 corvette.

By adding a few additional vertical lines, it seems apparent that other than possibly the leading edge of the car, the trailing edge of the car and the rear wheel centerline, there is little else that actually lines up on those two cars. Particularly so from the door handle forward.
There appears to be some distortion (or pretty bad bodywork?) in at least one of the images. I certainly wouldn't consider them proof that the side emblems are positioned differently on the '63-'64 Corvette.
As somebody already stated, several of you guy's are a wealth of information!
I keep going out to my recently purchased '63......Gas cap cover....check.....raised door around the handles and locks.....check......ashtray identification......check......tool tray area under the seats.....check! LOL!!
By just adding three parallel lines to the emblems and the leading edge of the top horizontal louver, the emblems appear to be positioned in the same relative positions.
