FYI from Corvette expert: The emergency brake didn't go to the middle of the seats until 1967. The two speed power glide was only std on a corvette after 1953-1954 and this was before manuals were available as an option. Once manuals were available they were std with a 3sp Manuel until 1970 when the 4sp was finally std! 1963 Corvettes Sebring Silver paint had real silver in the paint and was a $92+- dollar option. Route 66 used a 1961, 1962 and 1963 corvettes and never a 1960. The corvette was supposed to have been sentimental to Todd's and the last possession from his dad who died just before he left the east coast for his searching for what town him and Buzz want to settle down in. This is why its a little confusing when he shows up with a 1962 the third season or so. Finally found a category of car I know more about than Jay!

In 1972 I was called out to a Chevy dealer's body shop to give them a frame repair estimate on an Olds, and there sitting right next to it was a totaled '63 Split Window. It was bad! When I got into the body shop office with my bid I saw a young man in a near full body cast, with another man next to him that was his insurance adjuster. The shop manager was on the phone with a wrecking yard, and when I heard him say "$200.00 is all you'll give for a wrecked Stingray?", I had to ask right away... "if that's all you get for salvage on that can I buy it?" Well, after a short discussion with the owner and adjuster, it was mine, for $200.00!!!!! I made sure I got all the pieces that were in the pile next to it. They told me what happened. The owner had stopped at a red light behind a bobtail truck, then a Peterbuilt coming up behind him lost its brakes and rear ended him, shoving him into the bobtail. You can imagine what it looked like after that. I got it home on 2 flatbeds, and for a month compiled a list of what I'd need to put it all back together. The hardest part to find was the full rear 'clip' from the windshield back, which I finally got when I went to another salvage yard searching for frame parts for a frame repair in my shop, and happened to mention what I was looking for. Having been one of his beat customers for several years, he shocked me when he said ... "boy, have I got a surprise for you!" Then took me to the back of his yard, and behold, there sat a full rear clip for a '63 split window, all intact including all windows, trim, doors, fuel tank, and complete interior. Then, he gave me the best surprise, I could have it all for $250.00! Needless to say, I jumped on that without any hesitation! A year and a half later, it was all restored, and I took it in to a master painter I knew, and had him paint it a dark pearl blue. The last thing remaining to be road ready was a new radiator. I found that when I took it into a muffler shop for exhaust repair. He had one upstairs that a customer had bought but never picked up. $30.00 later, and it was mine. I drove that 'vette' for the next 6 years until my divorce. It turned heads everywhere I went! I'd still have it but my divorce attorney sold me out and I was ordered by the judge to sell all of my cars except for one. Looking back, I wish I had kept the 'vette' instead of the '73 Lincoln MK4 prototype.

Absolutely gorgeous car Jay. Stock (as it should be) and just absolutely beautiful! And I love the fact that you drive these vehicles. I just don’t understand cars locked up in a vault by some. Enjoy these things and do what they are meant for ... to drive! Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us.

This is truly my dream car. I don’t wish to own a Lamborghini, new mustang, new Camaro, hell car, or even the doge demon, but instead a c2 corvette. I don’t care how much faster the new ones are, I just want to be able to drive it and feel it. When I’m older and I finish my college, my dream is to own one, keep it in the garage, drive it on weekends, and keep it in the family.

This was a very nice and informative segment. I can remember being a kid and hanging out with my cousin one day. He was a car enthusiast to say the least. His friend dropped by with his brand new 63'. I had just turned 9 yrs. old, but remember it like it was yesterday. All 3 of us piled in the car, and I squeezed in between them. What a blast that was! Some years later, my cousin discovered a 62' Bel Air Bubble Top with a 409 power plant. He restored it beautifully, and I had the pleasure of driving it one day when he stopped by my house...but that is another story.

Best Corvettes EVER made... 1963 to 1967. My neighbors dad bought the first '63 convertible in our town, yellow, white top, black interior. 4 speed, 327, 300 hp. I was 16 and it drove my dreams till 2001 when I purchased a new white on white convertible. Was a disappointment, but I finally had my Corvette, lol. Great video, Jay, thank you.

Jay I watch your show every morning while I have my coffee. I am in Boise Idaho, your show is great and I really enjoy how you go into the history of the cars and their makers. I think you should do an episode about the 1970s Fiat 500l, my father has two of them and they are an amazing little car.

I spent over 40 years dealing with horrible car mechanics....its a pleasure and luxury to listen to a person who knows what they are talking about and enjoys what they do...

I bought a ‘63 Coupe in 1975 from a guy in Hanford, CA when I was in the Navy. It wasn’t a fuelie, but it was fast! One of my biggest regrets is selling it. Beautiful car Jay!

I remember as a young kid that one of the tenants in my parent's apartment building had a Sting Ray, maybe a '64 or '65, can't be sure now. He worked at the local Chrysler plant and had swapped out the Chevy motor for a Dodge V8. Crazy. I just recall the engine being painted bright orange!
