Daytona blue on black vinyl interior.  327/300 HP 4spd manual.  Rare 63 Split Window Stingray Coupe.  Early production car with storage wells under seats. Date code correct engine, see below.  Data plate info--style 63837  trim--std  body--1662  paint--916A


Selling for my dad who has owned it about 15 years.  Great driving, looking car!  Previous owner had all the suspension and brakes done front to back, springs, shocks,trailing arms, bushings, steering linkage, drum brakes.
  
Car was repainted very nicely done prior to that no history on when but still shines great.  no overspray no masking marks door jambs done.  There are a few nicks and scuffs here and there from age and use but they are minor, the car shows very very well.
  
All chrome and stainless trim is in good condition.  Bumpers are nice.  All original glass in excellent condition, windshield is a replacement but also nice.  

Black vinyl interior, believed to be original in good shape.  Carpet definitely looks original and is nice.  Seats also but drivers bottom has a small [2"] split.  Guage bezel is original showing minor patina but is uncracked and compliments the originality of the interior.  Nice console with minor wear on aluminum around shifter nothing major.  We put a new headliner in and resprayed all the surrounding trim years ago.  The headliner has since come unstuck in a spot needs to be re glued, its still perfect and its a plastic replacement so its perfectly reusable. 

Drivetrain is the 327-300Hp 4spd manual.  Starts, runs, drives, stops, steers EXCELLENT.  we pulled the heads due to worn guides a couple years ago and had the heads completely re done new valves, modern valve seals.  At that time did the research on numbers matching or not and have concluded it is not but it IS date code correct for the block, heads, intake.  Block #3782870  K202 [Nov 20 1962]   Heads are 10-1962.  intake # 3866922   the front pass side pad of the block is FI2IOS dont know what that means.  We dont claim to be vette experts but have shown these numbers to one who confirms the date code correctness.  We also painted and detailed the top end when it was apart.  Engine compartment is very nice clean and correct minus the air cleaner and holley carb on it [do have the original carb goes with but not the air cleaner]  

Underneath is pretty clean as well not rusty and crusty, nice solid frame, nice 2 1/2" exhaust with stainless mufflers. Few drips around engine [mostly needs oil pan gasket]  couple on trans and rear end,  just seepage leaks.  Tires are nearly new [couple years but little miles] they have the correct whitewall on the inside facing of car [dad chose the blackwall look with option to turn them around possibilty for originality]  We also did all new u joints on driveshaft and rear half shafts 

This is a solid complete great looking and driving 63. Not a show car but very very NICE car.  I describe things as they are Ive sold many high end cars here and other places and my descriptions are honest and critical.  Have many more pics and can take some of whatever youd like, feel free to contact for questions.  Reserve is quite fair considering what these cars are going for these days, but reserve wont be disclosed, bid what you can afford and feel its worth.  Everything works on it except wipers [needs motor repaired]

$1000 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48hrs after auction ends.  Balance due before car pickup via wire transfer.  Please contact me if you have less than 5 positive feedbacks before bidding.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
