1963 corvette owners protection plan booklet 2nd edition

[Kenneth M.]

I'm preparing for a flight judging and noticed in the Technical Information Manual that an owners protection plan booklet is a judged item. I have looked on the internet to try and find a copy, no luck.

Can anyone suggest where I can buy a copy.

They pop up on ebay occasionally. For an unused original you probably looking at $300.00. For a used original the price is much less. Remember that the same warranty book was used for the Impala, Corvair, etc...... Do a search on all the models. The dealership normally entered the VIN, owners name and other info when they delivered the car.

There is one in here............

Harry, thank you for the info.
I did notice the same item that you refered me to on ebay, however, it was advertised for a 1963 Impala, would this booklet be accepted for a 1963 corvette during the judging?

Contact Dave Strickland who frequents this TDB or Jim Clemens - they both usually carry most of the literature

Ken and all,

One of the more recent Restorer magazines, I think the one that came September/October, had a Judging Chairmen's Message that announced that the Protect o Plan booklet would no longer be judged by NCRS. Now if you want one for S & G (Stuff & Grins) that is your choice.

Terry, Are you sure its not just the protect plate? Which 63 does not have.

Ken, the owner protection plan booklet was the same for all 1963 Chevy vehicles. As I mentioned, the first page is filled out unique to the car it was delivered with. Saying that you will never find one with your VIN in it unless you locate a blank NOS booklet and fill it out with your VIN, name etc.

Ed,
I don't keep my Restorers at work, so I will look when I get home.

Edit add: Thanks to Vinnie's post I now realize my reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. Ed you are right.

Re: 1963 corvette owners protection plan booklet 2nd edition

From Roy Sinor's message, Winter 2013 issue

• Effective January 1, 2013, NCRS will no longer judge or assign points to the dealership-issued GM item known in C2 and C3 generations as the “Protect-O-Plate” and in the C4 generation as the “Protection Plan ID Card" or "Vehicle Identification Card." NCRS will continue to describe and reference these items in our Technical Information Manual and Judging Guides, but they will not be required in the owner’s packet, and they will NOT be judged. NO points will be assigned to these items. These items are the only GM document we have ever judged with the car, and there is nothing good to be gained by the continued practice.

I have been advised that the 1963 model year didn't have a "Protect-O-Plate", only a book which is still judged

Re: 1963 corvette owners protection plan booklet 2nd edition

All 63 Corvettes were shipped from the St Louis assy plant with a warranty booklet, or folder. I think the same is true for 64-67 also.

The warranty folder for 63 was called the "Owner Protection Plan" with part number 3838412.

Re: 1963 corvette owners protection plan booklet 2nd edition

Phil, along with Mikes post, there was a early and late version of the warrenty book. first was a light yellow(up to Jan.) color the second was a coral red color.

Re: 1963 corvette owners protection plan booklet 2nd edition

The 63 Owner protection plan for my March 2nd car is pinkish or like Ed said. Coral Red. Owner identification # C576281. Has orginal owners name in it. Ser nmo. of car. Delivery date 5-1-63, Key no. Dealer name Stamped with blue ink. Signed by Dealer representaive. Has phone numb ers written in it also.
It alone was one of the reasons I bought the car long ago. Can't imagine duplicating this book from a blank one.
Also has a card from the dealer with all the items not covered under warranty.
It's terminolgy here. Techinically this is the warranty book. Just not called by that name. But the word Warranty is heavily used in this booklet.
