Your serial number must be very close to mine. My car turned 50 yesterday. Went out to the garage and had a little celebration for the car.

Hi Phil,

I think you might already have the info for my coupe #15,240 - no foot/tool wells.

Congrats to you John, and all the other 63 owners who have or will celebrate a big day with their 'baby' this year. My day was back in January and like others, I poured a glass of my favorite wine, stepped into the garage, and toasted the birthday boy and all our good times together.

Re: Sting turns 50 today!

Bought my SWC in '89 and it been in "deep hibernation" since. The car sort of fell into my lap, in a sense. Wasn't looking to buy a SWC when I found this by accident.
There's two cars are ahead of it in the restoration queue.

Birthdate is June '63 and according to NCRS-provided shipping data, the car originated in New Jersey. Daytona blue - Saddle Leather; 327/340.

Still has the "used car" window sticker on the rear window since I purchased it and drove it home. It did drive back in '89! - but I've only driven this car about 3 times.

One of the more interesting aspects of the purchase - the people I bought the car from were "information poor" when it came to Corvettes- they had never heard of Corvette Central, Eckler's, etc. Said they spent years looking for a correct air cleaner lid, but could never find one. I've since collected all the major parts needed to restore the car.

Re: Sting turns 50 today!

I guess I am a little confused about the foot well/tool box issue. There is a recess under my seats (#15192) that is about 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" deep. That does not seem to be '"deep", so I would guess mine does not have the deep foot well/tool box either!

How deep is the deep?

Re: Sting turns 50 today!
