Description:
Try to ignore the fact that this car is insanely fast, and let's consider the fact that (look
at the rear window) this is an ORIGINAL '63 SPLIT-WINDOW VETTE that this guy hacked
up turn into a drag car. I don't think it's rice, but it sure as hell ain't right. |

It is a shame. But it IS insanely fast and that fact is a bit hard to ignore... |

I saw one of these things the other day no a drag car or anything. And it was the best looking car I have ever seen in my life and it was next to a ford GT40 which just added to it. What can I say I just want one. |

I still don't understand why everyone loves the split window vettes. My dad had one for a long time, and it was COMPLETELY impossible to see out the back window from the drivers seat. Might as well not have a back window. And they're not all that special mechanically, either. I guess it's because they're rare. |

It's the rarity. And stylistically, the center rod on the rear window looks better than the bubble. Yes, I know you can't see out the back, but DAMN it looks nice. |

I'd like it without a bubble, actually. The exact contours as the split-widow, but without the bar, just one sheet of glass. |

Come to think of it, I've never seen a split-window vette' IN PERSON in my life, I've seen plenty of 70's and 80's models, even a few 50's, but never the split, so they must be rare. |

Just like the Mopar wing cars and the Ford Torino Talladega and Boss 429... fast cars that didn't sell are absurdly valuable and prized because there just aren't that many out there. |

yeah, but there's a damn good reason for them only making them for one year: everybody that drove one HATED that window. It just looked cool from the outside. |

I think only 1900 some Superbirds were ever made, and they didn't sell well because their sticker price was 3X times as high as a base-model RR. |

I just noticed Driven_out's comment #1 on this car. Um, YEAH it's a fiberglass body. This is a Corvette. |

yeah, but I'm sure he meant that it was just a body, that the car was never a corvette. |

I know, but it just struck me as funny. And I don't know about the price on the Superbirds. Some dealers ended up taking off the nosecone and wing and selling them as regular Roadrunners. I think the problem is that the nosecone and wing were just too wild for 1970. |

When I was just a kid, we live accross the street from an apartment house that had a raised parking lot about 12 feet up off street level. One guy there owned a 70's model 'vette, don't remember much about it except it was a metallic green. Anyway, one night he parked it up there and I don't know why, but it rolled away and took a nose dive into the street. That was sad when it was towed off the next day, beak bashed in and roof flat, don't think it ever had a chance of coming back. |

If this is a real '63 'Vette, this guy deserves to be strapped to a chair and hit repeatedly over the head with a heavy piece of mining equipment. |

I'm protective of rare classic cars, that's all. :( |
