Default swc?

Got a question: since I am now without Corvette, I think I would like a SWC for the next one. I really don't know a lot about them.

I wouldn't go the restoration route like the last time, but I would like a correct car that could be 'tinkered with' over time. Am I dreaming here?

Anything that I should know about them?

Thanks,
Allen

Pretty much the same as all other coupes in the series except for the "split" rear window. You get drum brakes, not discs. Lots of unique 63 only and 63 coupe only parts. Chuck

Ha Ha......I knew you couldn't stay away......Once they are in your blood....

Allen, 63s are just like any other mid-year...but you'll need a very strong leg for the drum brakes.

I knew/know of a very nice silver/red 340 horse, kos, swc in Worcester. I can sniff to see if its still available if you like.
