A Short History of ’63 Corvette Pre-Production Prototypes

[@bettermost]

These three sisters need to go to the National Corvette Museum. No other place for them.

in my younger days i owned a 65, 66 and 69 convertables. favorite was the 65 with 327 cu and 350 hp. any one driving a vette was instantly special. vette owners always acknowledged or waved to each other. we belonged to a special club. was also subscribed to the monthly "corvette news" magazine published by cheverolet.

I believe one of the 1963 Coupes Jeff Hayes turned into a Restomod may have been one of these early models. I saw a photo of the VIN and I believe it was 0008.

Can we get some sort of a follow up on this trio of vets?

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE SILVER (CLAY?) SPLIT WINDOW MODEL AT 1 MIN 9 SEC - IT APPEARS TO HAVE AN OPENABLE H A T C H B A C K!! I remember seeing it on the cover of a GM! MAGAZINE back in the day. But if it was fiberglass, maybe it's hidden away - somewhere? Clay certainly would not have survived tho - i think.

It is shame none are split window coupes

There is one more here in Sweden.

My late husband bought all three.

I'm sorry, you must be confused, my boss Pete Vicari, who is being interviewed in the video and is the owner of all the vehicles, bought each vehicle from three different owners, he even states that in the video. They were never sold all three together and are still in his possession at his museum.

Hi . Is that True, your Husband Bought them all? My Miami/TN friend Buzz, had a Red/Red '63 RdstR w/2 PRONG'd "KicKOFFs" in the early 2000s. I WONDER if it was One of Thee's, or? 🏁gF NM/FL ☮️

Wonder how much those prototypes cost him.
