This Corvette overall presents very well and attractive in all areas, it appears that the Corvette was selectivly restored back in the late 80's / early 90's and has been cared for since. The refurbishment has held up well with proper patina setting in evenly across the car. The paint remains deep and glossy with a few expected minor flaws, the hard top does have a few nicks here and there as one would expect, the headliner appears to be original. The interior bright work, console, dash fascia and gauges appear to be original, the steering wheel is wonderful, and the carpet and upholstery are clean and free from major wear and tear. Under the hood all components appear correct from the 327 V8, heads, manifolds, aluminum valve covers to the dual snorkel air cleaner, ignition shielding, aluminum expansion tank, clamps and hardware. The underside of the car is clean, highly original and shows very well. 1963 was a major design change for the Corvette, not only in style, but also in performance. The long tapered hood with the hid-a-way headlights became a signature mark of the corvette that stuck with the car for generations. 1963 was the first year of the Mid-Year Corvette which remains among the most sought after cars on the planet. The car here is a wonderful example that has recorded history since new, has always been intact and properly looked after. Sebring Silver over Dark Blue is a great color combination for this car and is one that you do not see often on a roadster. Midyear Corvettes are timeless and will always be a blue chip automotive investment. This car is worthy of serious consideration.
