I think the best comment I had on mine was a father showing his son my car. They were looking at the back and Dad said "this is one of those rare split bumper cars".

Re: Cut out split on '63 coupes

I told this story once or twice before. Back in the 60's Grabiak Chevy in New Alexandria, PA took a ton of those splits out. The bodyshop manager was Floyd Grabiak. In Floyds cluttered office he had a large collection of the removed splits hangin on his wall. All different colors as I recall. He also had a large collection sitting outside the body shop of the 63 hoods with the grilles. He was asking 20 bucks a hood then and didn't sell a one. They all went to the dump. JD

Today you have to buy a parts car for 28000 to get parts.
