Turbine-style 15″ wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown white-stripe tires that feature pie crust sidewalls.
Had to put some brain cells to work too figure out what "pie crust" sidewalls are -- that's a new one for me.

That's a beautiful car, SWC, silver fuelie. Should bring all the money. From here it looks legit, but (1) I'm not a pro vette inspector, and (2) I'm not up close and personal with the car.

And for high dollar cars, that's my only concern with BaT.

A single mismatched part can easily cost more than the money spent on a professional Corvette inspector, and potentially tens of thousands.

A couple of minor nits: The engine has been out - the stamp pad had paint on it, for a car of this price potential it's odd to me at least that the headliner wasn't fixed, the exhaust system appears to be NOM, and the wheels cannot be OEM on a '63 I believe. Can any of the FI experts here math the FI unit to the VIN and if so, how?

Love this car, though.

Shouldn't the steering wheel be the same color as the interior?

I believe the wood grain steering wheel was offered an option in late 1963 built cars.
