Hello. I have been on here since January as I was getting ready to pull the trigger on my first Corvette purchase. I have already seen the benefits of such a connected, passionate community. Today is a landmark day. After 6 months of solid searching, a few missed opportunities and one close call that I walked away from, I have purchased a 1963 convertible. The car is non-original, but in really, really good condition. Exactly what I was targeting. Now that I've taken that leap, I figured I should post an introduction. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a future of activity on here and surely have no clue what I just got myself into. haha.

Welcome. A big congratulations! I’ve always liked the gauge dials on the 63s and 64s; uniquely cool. Love the knockoffs as well,as the color! Well done, she appears to be a beauty.

Welcome
Wow, every boys dream car, including me the first time I saw one back in 1963, so start living the dream for all of us that didn't own or drive one.

It was a ride in a Sebring Silver '63 SWC almost 55 years ago that lit my Corvette fuse..
