Cool Old Iron in your Hood

Sniffler I caught this one at a car show a couple weeks back.

At my neighbors, I guessed 63, it's a 64.

63 has "grills" on the hood, 64 does not. There's probably other differences, but that's what I look for to tell the difference between a 63 and a 64 convertible.

My favorite generation of Corvettes. I'd love to own/resto-mod a '67.

67 is one of my dream cars.

He explained many of the differences to me in the 20 second convo I had with him. Grills as you posted, the "dents" on the front fenders went from horizontal to vertical and a couple other differences I forgot.

I pick this up in December since, ford guy:laughing:

Started a thread in the ford section that I will update when I get it home. Garaged for the last 35-40 years.:smokin:

I mostly want a split window 63, but 67 got side pipes and a L88 option.
I think some 64 vets got horizontal dents also.

63 and 64 have the horizontal side vents.
65 and 66 have 3 "gills"
67 has 5 "gills"

The 65 and 66 are the only ones I have trouble telling apart. The wheels were different, but that only comes into play if the car has the factory wheels. Someone once told me of another cosmetic difference between the two, but I can't remember what it is.
