Re: 63 Z06 on eBAY
Z06's are so rare that it seems like someone on this forum would be familiar with car 8834's history. Anyone?
I am no expert, so I thought I'd ask a stamp pad question: in the stamp pad pic, the "RF" seems to be slightly out of alignment with the other characters. Is that normal for a 63?Mike

Michael,
I can tell you it is NOT on the Z06 registry that Bob Jones has been providing for some time - wonder what Syd Garber's list shows, if anything??????Rick Aleshire

Re: 63 Z06 on eBAY
Mike,
I am probably as far away from being even remotely close to an expert but I did have this car listed previously in my '63 file. I most likely saw an ad listing it for sale before but definitely not in person.
When I recorded it in my file, I listed it as being a NOM Z06 and that was probably the way it was advertised at that time or I would not have noted it. I'm not at all saying this is a fact. Many mistakes are made by many people when listing a car for sale or recording them as I like to do, etc.
What I found interesting about this beautiful coupe #8,834 was it's body number.
While it could be noted incorrectly (misread etc.), I have it listed as body #4.937 which puts it slightly off the production sequence when compared to other cars built close to it. The body number is not that far off though.
For comparison, I have Coupe #8,856 listed with body #4,911
Coupe #8,860 is listed with body #4,913
Coupe #8,863, a Z06 listed from the B. Jones registry, is body #4,915
There is another '63 Z06 that was discussed here before that also has it's body number off in sequence but nowhere as close as this one.
Could it possibly be that the car was somehow held up in production to explain why the numbers don't align? I don't know but I've wondered about it before.
The other coupe was about 300 cars out of sequence.
Another Z06, #8,802 is listed with body #4,879 which fits perfectly in my file.

Not all Corvette Owners are into NCRS/BG/NCCC There is a really nice '68 427/400 T-Top and a '64 Red Red FI coupe within 3 miles of me which have never been shown and in the hands of private owners for years who have no interest (their loss) in any organizations local or national.

Re: 63 Z06 on eBAY
One must note that this ZO-6 was made within one of the runs that produced many ZO-6 Corvettes. The run started at about #84XX and continued until approx. 95XX.
This doesn't mean that it is a real ZO-6 or that it's not! It just means that it was in a time frame that GM was producing a LOT of ZO-6 Corvettes.

Agree with Carl's perspective.Not all Corvette Owners are into NCRS/BG/NCCC There is a really nice '68 427/400 T-Top and a '64 Red Red FI coupe within 3 miles of me which have never been shown and in the hands of private owners for years who have no interest (their loss) in any organizations local or national.
In the past 10 years I have travelled extensively around the country. Have come across multiple, very rare vintage Corvettes belonging to owners that had no interest when asked, .....of any Corvette enthusiast.club.
In the list I can think of completely a original 21,000 mile '63 SWC, and a 12,000 mile '54 that have not been in sunlight for 35+ years. No club affiliation. No judging ever. Not shown ever. That's two out of dozens I have found. How many more are out there that nobody has spotted?Good carburetion is fuelish hot air . . .Comment

Re: 63 Z06 on eBAY
maybe he does not want this to happen as this was posted on the corvette forum. "I recently had my car judged and i just realized while looking back over my judging sheets that i received a full deduct for my stamp pad. I was exhausted at the show and i guess i did not fully understand what the judge was telling me when i signed the sheet. Had i known he deducting all points for my stamp pad, i would have never signed it.
Anyway, he deducted all points because it was pitted and aged. The engine block is almost 46 years old and the engine sat apart for a long time exposed to the elements. I am going to file an appeal, if it isnt too late, but i was curious if anybody else had received a full deduction for a pitted and aged stamp pad."Comment
