Default '63 SWC Corvette, #s 340hp 327

Nice car - amazing (to me) that the bidding is already in excess of $150k with the reserve not yet met.

I'd say the bidders are either shill, or uninformed. It has the remaining bracket for power steering which was not available on a solid lifter car. 250 or 300hp only.

Good looking car for sure!

Good eye, Tim. Cross drilled rotors and disc brakes on the front. Certainly, no pad or trim tag pictures also raises concern.

Not seeing fins on the back side of the balancer either.

Love the laid back aftermarket antenna

----How about the lack of the water pump to intake bypass, as well as a decent amount of front clip work. The rain gutter under the hood is missing the lip and the bond between the inner fender and outer fender is not well done.....Bill S

Are '63 SWC's really this pricey?

While strictly my opinion, the "tweener" cars like those shared in this thread are way overpriced and an educated buyer will pass on them. Also, first to fall when the market has a correction.

Arguably, the 63 SWC is one of the most iconic cars GM (or any manufacturer) has ever produced. I love to look at them myself. A car to drive? 64-67 will always be a better bet.
