Amateur resto. What is up with the location of the tail lights? They are inboard inches of where they are on an original car. Two throttle return springs?
Seems like every 63 has or had the 64-style service replacement MC at some point. I have an original 63 MC in need of resto, and had the latest repro MC on my last 63. Very hard to differentiate, and a quick/easy changeout. Last edited by SupremeDeluxe; 07-07-2021 at 12:59 PM. |

It’s almost like it had six tail lights (thanks J&D!) like so many of these cars had done but when it was restored the body shop was told to eliminate the two extra lights . . . . so they removed the outermost lights!

For my own education: can anyone here tell me - with authority - if Corvettes were built in VIN order in St Louis in this timeframe?
Most of the plants I've been in (granted - "most", not "all") had an accumulator/buffer between the body shop and another between body and paint. This allowed cars to be shuffled around in case a specific vehicle needed extended lineside repair, to level the workload downstream on the final line, or to provide a buffer to draw from to allow the final line to keep running in the event of a parts shortage or maintenance breakdown in body/paint (which was kind of often). Therefore: most GM assembly plants did not build in VIN order. Fremont and Baltimore would be a couple notable exceptions off the top of my head. K
