Hubby's Hobby - 63 vette (The Third Child)
I seemed to have created interest for those into cars. Since I didn't want to pirate someone else's topic, I figured I would just create one. This is so those who are curious would see what "The Third...

What a truly gorgeous Vette and family memories. It will never become a runaway child.

As rare and valuable as it is, it would be moreso if it had the original carb, valve covers etc, but it is his car and y'all are free to make it as you please. Nice work by the shop too. Enjoy.

Of course it would be more. Unfortunately to restore to that level is more than we can do. We have other commitments that are more important. He does enjoy it as is though.

A really sweet ride,,,fanaticbooks, you folks should consider coming up for the Black Hills Corvette Rally.

just an added note... Talked to hubby. He said the original owner had removed all of the stuff mentioned by LeoP before hubby bought it. Also the motor in there is not the original 327 as I thought....

Nancy Your husband's '63 Vette is still very extraordinary, rare and valuable. It is that split rear window which also mesmerizes me. I assume that the 4 speed tranny and rear end are also original....

Nancy I do not know why the previous owner pulled the original engine but it sure would be nice to place a call to him to try to track it down. At least that is what I would do.

It is too long ago. We wouldn't have the funds to replace either. Hubby does not work on autos. I put my foot down about that. Autos see him coming gleefully. They like to thwart him any time he comes...

I understand Nancy. If I had to pull an engine by myself, I would be in a heap of trouble and probably a hospital ward.

Corvettes are HARD to work on. Expensive, too. If it works to your satisfaction leave it alone. Nice car.

Gosh Nancy I am envious of that vette . I almost bought one in 63 but settled on the 63 SS Impala with 327 300 H.P. 4 speed Muncie Trans in a Aqua color convertible . The conv. made the diff. in the...

Just an update...no pictures yet. Hubby now has the wheels and tires that are "knock-offs"(?) matching the original 63 set. They look gorgeous. Will take pictures when he next brings it out of the...

Looks great Nancy. Can't wait to see it with the knock-offs. Like classsi, I couldn't get in and out of that now. I'll have to live vicariously. So ask your hubby to put in an extra mile for me on...

Great looking car! I've always liked the vettes from the early '60's. I could easily see myself in that! Enjoy and get those new wheels and tires.

Well, it isn't sunshine so couldn't take pictures outside. However, thought you would still enjoy seeing the improvements made. Child is looking pretty good. New Wheels, new carpeting, new side door...

I feel that too many folks worry about show quality and over restore their cars. I am currently working on an 80 GMC Indy Hauler pickup, it is one of 200 made for sale to the public back then. It's...
