Bill Bixby's '63 coupe
The actor Bill Bixby once owned a heavily customized 1963 Corvette coupe. I don't know if he bought it new or still owned it when he died in 1993 of prostate cancer. There doesn't seem to be any info available on-line. I doubt this car was ever on TV or in a movie. I've only found a few photos of it in the '69 - '70 J&D Corvette catalog.
I believe the bodywork was done by J&D although it was painted by Junior Conway. Large single headlights were tunneled into the front fenders, the parking lights were shaved off, the hood was domed with two forward scoops, it had six (I think) tail lights, and the rear wheelwells had huge flares. It definitely had '63 windshield stainless trim, door panels, and carpet. The few photos I've found show it with no hood grills, no front bumpers, no radio antenna, no split in the back window, and no louvers between the doors and rear window. The CA black license plate number might have been PGX 124.
Does anyone in southern California remember this car or have a clue where it might be now? Thanks for any leads you can give me.
