Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

I love the C2s, too. Especially the fuelies, and Mr. Verrillo has one fine and pristine example! Judging from his comments, Corvettes truly are a labor of love for him, and it certainly shows itself here. Thanks, Lou!

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, When you think of yourself ordering a "new bodied" Corvette in 1963, this would have been checking all the performance boxes. My pleasure sharing this "pristine example" with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@johncornell3665]

This is a beautiful C2 fuelie, outstanding restoration, thanks Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi John, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou

Great piece of Corvette history; I was 10 when I first rode in a Vette, 60 years ago and I remember the whole experience in detail. Thanks to you both.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steve, Corvettes are special. It's wonderful to get a ride in a sports car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou

[@unclerudy9797]

One could argue that the C2 Corvette was one of the, if not THE, most beautiful cars of all time. There is not one bad angle on these cars. Bill Mitchell and his designers nailed this one. As for this specific car, I am overwhelmed by the attention to detail. Everything is perfect. Love all the documentation and the story behind this gorgeous Corvette. I had the privilege to take a short drive a 67 C2 427 convertible when I was 16. 55 years later and it is still a cherished, vivid memory. Also, kudos to the owner for following his dream and working so hard at his craft, which is clearly a labor of love. Lou, I love so many of your videos, but this one is one of my favorites. Maybe because it brought back such a wonderful memory, or I just so strongly identified with the owner and his passion for these iconic cars. Nevertheless, a great job once again, Lou! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Charles, "One could argue that the C2 Corvette was one of the, if not THE, most beautiful cars of all time." High praise. My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou

Everybody loves Red. Fine example of a Red/Red 63 Fuelie. Thnx for sharing Lou. Another 👍👍

[@loucostabile]

Hi Felix, Happy to share this "Fine example" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@classicmusclecarexhaust1988]

It hurts to think how many Rochester F.I. units ended up in the dumpster back then because people didn't understand them and couldn't get them serviced properly. Hey Lou, if you're going to get chauffeured around MCACN, it might as well be in a '63 Fuelie! Nice video Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Tom (and JudyAnn), I'd guess quite a few F.I. Units ended up in the dumpster, however for those fortunate few that kept them when they were ordered, they're $ in the bank now. Riding in a fuelie is a treat, and only wish the ride was a bit longer :-) Happy to read you enjoy this video, Lou

[@JeffKing310]

[@terryeustice5399]

I love all Corvettes. 1963 was a great year. The 1963 split window was a favorite. I still have one a 1995 C-4 and owned 2 C-3’s a 1969 and 1976. Thank you Lou for sharing ❤️

[@loucostabile]

Hi Terry, I believe all the Corvettes have great styling and happy to read you have one. NICE! You're welcome, Lou

[@brianmoore6306]

[@keepamerica2astrong280]

Really nice car for sure. Not my cup of tea without the famed split window, just not the same. Although Fuelie and originality makes this one special. Thanks Lou

[@loucostabile]

Hi Keep America 2A Strong, Happy to read you enjoy this "Really nice car" :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@philipdrake6]

Hi Lou, what a great Corvette, the workman ship on the car is immaculate, and it is a real eye catcher, great video Lou.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Philip, Happy to share this "great Corvette" with you :-) Lou

[@larryborkstrom3580]

I love how it looks with the removable hard top it's great to see a early fuelie car and restore it to cherry condition

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou

[@petemedina8446]

Wow what a great looking car?😊

[@loucostabile]

Happy to receive a "Wow" from you" :-)

[@buff6637]

Beautiful Car😍 1st C2

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car and glad to share this one with you :-)

[@dancerjim]

Can’t beat a C2 !!

[@loucostabile]

It's a great design :-)

[@davidkastin4240]

Not only rare for a fuelie 4sp, How often do you see a 63 convertible? I'm older than the car and never seen a 63 convertible 😳😎

[@garybishop4030]

I saw one on Route 66 tv show

[@loucostabile]

Hi David, You're right, seeing a 63 Corvette is rare. fuelie makes it rarer, 4 Speed makes it rarerer, and convertible makes it rarerereist :-) My pleasure sharing the rare Corvette with you, Lou

[@thud9797]

The convertible always outsold the coupe back then. The 63 coupe got close but the convertible still sold more. Convertibles - 10,919 Coupes - 10,594 The first year the Coupe outsold the Convertible was 1969 and the Coupe was dominant from that point on.

[@mrrepurpose9596]

Beautiful. I doubt it looked that good when new.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)

[@tomquinn607]

C2 is my favorite. As for me GM should have developed the C2 the way Porsche developed the 911. No reason to ever change C2 design. So now the Vette is indistinguishable from any other supercar.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read the C2 is the one for you :-)

[@DanKirchner5150]

well id certainly imagine a car like this one cost A PRETTY PENNY ?

[@loucostabile]

I'm not sure of the cost, however I believe you're right.
