From the Greg Grams C-2 luxury and comfort Corvette collection.
Greg started selling these corvettes in the early 70s as used cars
and kept selling them as they became collector items. Recently he
has assembled an impressive collection of 1963-1967 Corvettes
focusing on coupes. He has run each one through our shop, they are
very functional, dialed in and ready to enjoy. He took the time to
assemble display boards with miscellaneous literature, NCRS
shipping reports, window stickers and more. Each car comes with a
jack and spare. Since the early 70s when he started collecting,
these cars have not been known to go down in value. Drive an
investment!
The legendary "Split Window" is considered an iconic American
automotive design. It also holds steady as one of the most
collectable Corvettes of all time. This one has a #s matching high
performance engine and factory colors. Ordered as a no-frills,
high-performance machine, the 340 hp runs strong without the
troubles of the fuel injection. It is an "early" model with the
short stem mirror and storage tray under the seat. A display board
with NCRS shipping report and literature is included.
EXTERIOR: 1963-1967 coupes are more desirable than the roadsters
because of their good looks and that is abundantly true of the 1963
because of that split back window. The body on this car is
excellent, I didn't see damage or cracking. It fits real well, the
doors shut like new and headlights open properly. The headlight
covers are fiberglass which is correct for 1963 only. Repainted
it's original Riverside Red with a smooth and glossy finish. The
jambs are clean and the weathrstrips are soft. The chrome is shiny,
the 1 year only hood inserts look new. It has the early short stem
mirror. The stainless trim around the windows fits right and looks
nice. The knock off wheels are real Kelsey Hays with KH cast on
them. It's riding comfortably on radial tires.
INTERIOR: My father wanted it fresh inside, it had a very nice
original interior that we just went through and updated. Our
upholstery guy replaced the carpet front to back. @ sets of mats
are included: reproduction and embroidered carpet mats. He also
replaced the seat upholstery in genuine leather. The door panels
already looked like new. The dash area is very clean: the dash pads
are not cracked, the console is nice with correct lock out shifter.
The correct 1 year only gauges with the silver center cones are all
looking good and they all work including the clock! The interior
lights and the Am-Fm radio work too. The headliner looks great. It
has the jack and lead hammer in the rear compartment. When you sit
in the car and look around you willl be happy.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The motor compartment is very clean and proper.
There were 4 versions of the 327 available: a 250hp, 300hp, 340 hp,
which this is, and the 360 hp fuelie. Many people prefer the 340 hp
because it is much less finicky than a fuelie and still runs
strong! This one has it's VIN number matching 327-340 hp. We
inspected the stamp pad, casting codes and dates. The 340 hp packed
a punch! It featured high compression pistons, high lift cam, solid
lifters and taller aluminum intake. It was also identified by
finned aluminum valve covers. It still appears completely stock
including air cleaner, ignition shielding, fuel filter, etc. The
radiator is dated 1962, the original expansion tank is still in
place.
UNDERSIDE: This is the first year for front and rear independent
suspension. Of course we inspected it ands several suspension and
steering components look like they have been replaced. The brake
system is working properly, the e-brake is hooked up. New exhaust
was upgraded with stainless Magnaflow mufflers; the correct tips go
out through the valance. The floors have been undercoated which
makes a good sound deadener. The spare tire carrier is still in
place. Looking up at the motor it is clean, has correct canister
oil filter and lower ignition shielding. It has a correct
replacement T10 4-speed manual trans. In back is the original 3.55
posi dated (Nov 17th, 1962) and coded to this car (CC).
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
This is a very nice example of a red # matching, high performance
version of the iconic split window. Actually I just looked the car
over agian and it is exceptional!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
