Vehicle Description
Being offered for sale by a collector, who is the car’s 4th owner, is a very nice 1963 Riverside Red, with Black interior, 327/340hp 4-Speed Roadster. This is a very original, mechanically sound, high level driver Corvette to be enthusiastically driven and thoroughly enjoyed. Unmolested / unrestored the car is a Survivor that looks good-runs great and can be proudly driven anywhere. A “turn key” classic, with a great drivetrain option and a patina that classifies as a badge of honor, is what this 1963 Corvette roadster presents. The car’s originality and condition were recognized and appreciated by the NCRS judges who in October 2009 awarded the car a Top Flight Certificate and Blue Ribbon, with a score of 96.3, which is an excellent score for a 46 year old original / unrestored Survivor Corvette. This is clearly a classic Corvette roadster for those who appreciate originality over the shine and fresh appearance of a concours restored Corvette.. A 1963 Corvette roadster with original paint, interior, drive train, body panels, window glass and chrome is an uncommon find. The car has 181,000 miles on the odometer. The car runs strong and handles well. A testament to Chevy’s L76 327/340hp engine, Muncie M20 4-Speed transmission, 3.70:1 positraction rear axle and responsible enlightened ownership over its life. The car has not been restored; but, instead has been properly maintained to preserve its originality. In 2008 a Master Corvette Restorer / Mechanic rebuilt the chassis to enhance the drivability of the car, without compromising the car’s factory originality. The original gage cluster and radio have been refurbished professionally. The car has a new correct Dewitt’s radiator, a NOS left muffler, new plugs and wires, tires and a replacement soft top, which is in excellent condition. This 1963 Corvette is absolutely “turn key”, needing nothing other then a new home, with a automobile enthusiast, who desires an original unrestored Corvette and welcomes the opportunity to take over stewardship of this amazing Survivor. Rare are the collector cars untouched by time or restorers—cars that still wear their original parts, paint, upholstery and trim. It’s their rarity and significance which make these cars stand out and explains the pride in ownership, which accompanies these cars. Original cars have the unique ability to transport you back to the time they were originally built and enjoyed, as they take you enthusiastically down road or through a curve. As with any collectible, originality trumps restored because “it’s only original once.” Here is the opportunity to acquire a “real deal” original / un-molested1963 327/340hp 4-Speed Corvette roadster that stands out as a “Survivor”, runs great, and needs nothing to be proudly driven and thoroughly enjoyed at a very reasonable price. The car is located in Ewing Township, New Jersey. To schedule an opportunity to inspect this classic Corvette, please call Mark 609-306-1631 10am-8pm EST.
