WTB: 1963 Corvette Coupe L76

[67since67]

The exact car you describe, in red/red with 40,000 miles, was purchased by a local hot rod shop a couple years ago and blown apart to build a high end restomod. all they wanted was the no-hit body.
I'm thinking they paid something like 80K for it.

That sucks. Probably had all the hard to find trim with it as well, which made it even better for them.

Plenty of marginal 65-67 cars out there that I don't mind seeing resto-modded (even though I don't like resto-mods). But taking a good 63 and restomodding it makes me cringe.

I sold my last 340 car for $120K in late 2018. It's probably a $135-140K car now.

Update:
The floors have been cut out to mount on a Morrison chassis with 1,400 HP. Body side panels etc are gone to make it a "wide body". So much for needing an unhit body. Build will run past seven figures. The paint is some bazaar Lamborgini color to match the client's Lambo.

The client?? Anybody heard of Goya Foods?

One of the good guys.

I have several Goya products in the pantry.

I couldn't care less what some does with their personal property.

He could corner the market on '69 T/A convertibles and prostreet them for all I care.

I agree! I have much respect for the company and it's ownership for their generous humanitarian efforts, no disrespect intended. Just stating facts.
