1963 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

63 Corvette split-window coupe restomod that I finished in early 2020 and am ready to move on so I can free up the space and cash for other projects. Here are the highlights:
- Black Sapphire Metallic (BMW) with mostly stock-looking black interior except for C5 seats
- Dakota Digital gauges; retro-look modern stereo; Vintage Air AC; Flaming River tilt wheel; power windows
- LS376/480 crate engine with TKO600RR trans and 3.42:1 Getrag differential from a C5 Corvette
- Custom under-car exhaust w/ chambered pipes for classic sound (loud and raspy)
- Aftermarket chassis (Chassis Concepts) w/ C7 suspension all around
- C7 Stingray brakes (Brembo) and wheels with Michelin PSC2 tires
- ABS (brand) electric-assist power brake master cylinder; power steering
Everything on the car is new (the body and trim are the only 1963 left on it), and it has just under 300 miles; hasn't even hit its break-in fluid changes yet.  I normally drive these cars more after finishing the project and before selling, but the pandemic hit just as I got it on the road; so it has basically sat for the last year, only getting started and driven short distances occasionally.  It's had a dyno tune, and it absolutely has all the power you'll ever want in a car this light.
I tried to keep it looking like it would have in '63, both inside and out, to the extent possible.  The only obvious giveaways are the wheels (
which you can't hide when you go with the modern suspension and big brakes
) and the black leather C5 Corvette seats inside.  I built this car to be very nice, but not so nice that you feel like you can't take it out and enjoy it.  I don't think I've seen another 63 SWC in this segment of the restomod market.  Most of what's out there seems to be either project cars, or 0K and-up show cars with appearance modifications.  Personally, I prefer the experience of driving something preserves the experience of an old car.  I don't see the point of a restomod where the interior looks like something out of Star Trek.  A new Corvette would be a whole lot cheaper.
If interested, send me a message, and I can give you whatever details you want.
I included a few pictures of the car when it was recovered from the field where it previously sat for almost 45 years before being re-built. Interesting story...
If it doesn't sell here, I may sign up to take it to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Houston mid-September.  Buy now, or take your chances later.
