That car has a lot going on with it besides the wrong color. I like the warnings about not expecting original parts on this “lightly-driven, two-owner” car.

Extremely rare 1 year only Corvette option. This is a 1 of 1 car probably worth $4-500K!

Do buyers really pay $75 Grand for a driver '63 coupe that has morphed to extent this has over the years?

I'm not asking because I think I know different. But because I don't know.

I do know I wouldn't be motivated to pay that kind of money for that car.

If the body and frame are perfect and original engine with all the original trim a 63 split is worth 60 to 70 as a driver all day long.

This doesn't answer your question, but since the car is being sold in Canada, I'm thinking the $75k is Canadian dollars, which is approx. $60k US.

Someone might. The reality at this point in time is that it's not easy to find too many "driver" condition cars in the $60's anymore, and some pretty rough stuff goes for $50's, and project cars are into the $40's.
I have kind of an urge at times to put my '63 on ebay before I start on it not because I would sell it, but I'd love to just see how insane the bidding might get.

I would wonder why he would show a pic of OIL PAN and not a pic of the motor compartment?

Because he wanted to be sure you’d notice the steering damper is missing. (* GRIN *)

That's what I did and sold it 20 minutes later.
Cash out the door
had to made a financial decision and what was an easy transaction .
Its all in timing and rolled the dice why haggle and ponder if and what if .
You have to have a number 1 corvette with no issue's ,The only thing I didn't have is the paper ,two tittles back to 1975 That's it.
Wasn't planning on selling it just playing around .
Time to explore now get into smoothing else.

Since it's listed on the Seattle CL I'm guessing that's U.S. Dollars, but you can always offer him $60k...

If he's selling a 2 owner car, and the last owner (the 1st owner?) only put 5000 miles on it in 35 years, this guy must really have driven it a lot in the last 19 years to run the mileage up to 102,000... Or am I missing something?

Generic GM A-body rear armrests. The ones in my 1965 GTO are exactly the same.
