I would say your saddle tan is a 63 as it has all the right things.
The red one also looks right.
So what is your point.
All I did was point out the pictures shown as a 63 is missing many items which should make it a 63. Split window and fender slots which is telling is all I pointed out.
Yes I am no expert as you so dramatically pointed out however, I have owned a number of original mid year corvette's. The split window is the first thing that makes the 63 a 63 and the one we are discussing is missing that.
I owned and raced a 63 split window for many years with an original body down to the LOF glass in the windows except the windshield. I had restorers try to buy the LOF glass in the split windows at the race track several times.
You can call a car anything you like however, that does not make that claim any more correct one way or the other.
By the way looks like dedracer edited his post as I was responding as it no longer calls the car a 63.
Not my car so call it anything you like and I will do the same.
If I can get a picture to load I will list my 63 split window below I raced for years and wished I still owned.
