1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe

I have found something that possibly requires me to sell one or two of my cars. It is a tough choice but I am listing my 63 Vette first. I will put as much info as I can but can be contacted for more details and or pics. I will take undercarriage pics this weekend and post. Car was owned by Burrel Wainer of Il. from May of 63 until 2003. Barry as he likes to be called is still very much alive and a great guy with many stories to tell about the car. The car was purchased via Ebay and the 2nd owner started the complete frame off resto. About 75% of the way I talked him into selling me the car and I had the car finished at Corvettes Only in Mo. in early 06. The car is in Orange Calif. now and just scored 98.1% and a Top Flight award at it's 1st time out on Oct 1st in Calabasas Ca. I have corrected about 80% of the items on the judging sheets since then. The car retains all of it's original body panels except for the tailight panel as Barry added the Calif. Special 3rd taillight in 63. The car was born with the optional Sebring Silver with Red vinyl interior. It was painted with Lacquer paint. It has it's original 340hp engine, original 4 speed CL Muncie trans, and orig. 3:70 posi rearend. It was also optioned with power brakes with the metallic linings and am/fm radio. Car is documented by the orig owner, orig warranty booklet filled out by the dealer, orig dealer sales invoice and copy of orig title. I also have a videotaped interview with Barry with the car. This is an impossible combination to find with a perfect body, paperwork, drivetrain and colors. This is a special car to me and I would be glad to expand with words or pics and welcome any onsite inspection to serious buyers. This car could go all the way to the Nat'l level in NCRS. Asking price $93,500. Dana [email protected]

WOW, really nice car...u sure you don't want to cut loose that 68 yenko project car?

Dana,

Correct me if I'm wrong please... But I thought the first year for the Muncie was '64 and a Borg Warner was used in '63? Was the Muncie an option?

Stunning example, nice price.

Thanks. As for the Yenko, I am a sucker for the project cars. Is it just me or do other people see their car as it is going to be while the people standing right next to you see a pile of junk and wonder why you are smiling? I have started on the 68 but will push it harder soon. Just trying to drum up some cash. Can't wait to smoke the tires.

Muncie was phased in middle of 63 production. For good reason. Good question.
