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.

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.

Corvette Odyssey
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
