Corvette Part III

1963 Corvette door 1963 Corvette hood - faux louvers
Left: Designer Larry Shinoda was not a tall man, but he did accommodate them by supplying a cut out in the roof to make entry / exit easier for taller enthusiasts in the low slung Corvette.

Right: The hood of all 1963 Corvettes had faux vent grills. The story is that originally they were functional but the hot air escaping from the engine found its way into the passenger area via fresh air venting in the cowl.

1963 Corvette Sting Ray
1963 saw the introduction of "Sting Ray" as a Corvette moniker. It would continue into the C3 generation, be retired occasionally and even shortened to "Stingray".

Amazingly enough, the one thing that didn't change in 1963 was the engine selection, which was the same as 1962. Right: The 327 cubic inch fuel injected mill continued as the top performer with 360 hp, well beyond the one hp / cubic inch milestone. The air cleaner and Plenum chamber (affectionately known as "the doghouse") were updated.

Corvette Odyssey

1963 Corvette: Corvette Odyssey by Terry Berkson
The True Story of One Man's Path to Roadster Redemption
by Terry Berkson
If owning a 1963 Riverside Red convertible is a car enthusiast's dream, then having it stolen is the ultimate nightmare. Exactly that happened to Terry Berkson and with the tenacity of a pit bull and against the advice of his family and assorted experts, he started a fanatical search to get it back. His endeavors are chronicled in "Corvette Odyssey" which reads like a Mickey Spillane novel or Bruce Springsteen song but is made all that more enjoyable due to the fact that it is a true story. "Corvette Odyssey" is a testimony of a Corvette owner's dedication and a great read. Highly recommended as well as reasonably priced, "Corvette Odyssey" is available from Amazon or for a custom signed book (up to 20 words) send check or M.O. for $8, (postage is included) to

i AM TRYING TO FIND A c-2 OR A c-3 THAT HAS 2 TAILIGHTS AND THE backup LIGHT AS 3 LIGHTS IN A ROW.i KNOW i SAW ONE along time ago. to my knowledge the backup light THEN went to above the license plate mount. I have foundv it strange that I have never seen one on BARRET-JACKSON or MESUM auctions.
DID I REALLY SEE ONE

What you saw was not factory produced, but a modification that was popular in the '60s and '70s. It is rare to see it these days as many think of it as devaluing the car.

Also, the backup light above the license plate is correct for 1967 'vettes.
