Yes.

There’s a reason I’m selling a 1992 convertible on there soon.

The comments are just rife with praise from folks who either don’t have a clue about the quality of the car, or perhaps more likely, are deliberately trying to build up the car to deceive the uninformed. With a replacement front end, replacement engine, nasty looking undercarriage, chips all over the paint, and a lot more, the car achieved an almost record amount - for a non-Z06 fuelie coupe with no provenance. WOW

And not even a Z06.....

It will be interesting to see what this 1963 Coupe ends up selling for on BAT https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-corvette-113/

A couple of the photos show what could be evidence of birdcage rust. It is already at $100K with six days to go!

For the first time I'm thinking BaT has returned to its original eclectic-POS-for-sale character, except now its POS-for-sale-for-absurd-price...

Re: 63 cpe. 200K!

BaT has no clue regarding these cars and unfortunately the same goes for the buyers and most of the posters there too.

Re: 63 cpe. 200K!

Someone who decided they just had to have a 63 FI Coupe in their stable no matter what the condition or cost?
Can't believe the only paperwork was a Shipping Data Report!
Unusual color combo though- I seem to remember one back in the day that was Daytona/Saddle,and was touted as being ultra rare?
Could be a consideration to some?

Re: 63 cpe. 200K!

Well it looks like the NCRS judges and Bloomington Gold think highly of this 63. Throw some rocks at the judges if you wish but like one poster said, "It's only original once"!

Re: 63 cpe. 200K!

Michael, yes you assume correct as I have not seen the Daytona 63 and from what I see from the comments I don't need to see!!
