!963 Coupe interior/exterior combination

[Nick F.]

I have been searching without much luck for some information on production numbers with a Daytona Blue exterior and Red interior combination for a 1963 coupe, i have been told by several that it is rare but i am unable to come up with any documentation. Can anyone please help??

Thank you

Re: !963 Coupe interior/exterior combination

There are no 'compound' option records...a Corvette with this option, that option and these other options. The only records that exist are the number of cars built/shipped with each specific option.

Some use those figures to compute relative 'rarity' by calculating the % of total production for each individual option and then multiplying the individual numbers to 'fudge' a bottom line number. But, that method presumes each option was UNIFORMLY distributed across the total production lot which is NOT true...

Suffice it to say, you have a VERY rare Corvette because it's the ONLY ONE built/shipped with your specific VIN tag! So, it IS one of a kind...

Nick,
I am not sure the information your seeking is available anywhere. I see in the black book that there were 3475 Daytona Blue colored cars in 63, but I do not know of any resource material that goes into combinations of interior/exterior. Someone else may join in here with something I do not know, but as far as I do know, this is not anything I have ever seen published. Does not sound to be something that was a common combination.

Jack,
Good answer!! I never thought of it that way, but now I can assume that all the cars I have the chance to represent can now be honestly called ONE of ONE, with that particular VIN. Be my luck the first time I try, someone will come up with some kind of re-tag with the same number.
