I don't know if Terry Sherrill was mentioned earlier in this thread, but he was so much fun to watch, I thought I would post a pic of his A/MP corvette.


It was a car that as a kid I ran to the starting line to watch.

Interesting side note, this car is being reassembled by a group of his old friends. It is being put back to its MP configuration and appears to be pretty close to its appearance back at that time. This was no small undertaking as the body looked like Humpty Dumpty after the crash, a million very small pieces of fiberglass had to be grafted back together.

Am not certain if this car qualifies an "old modified Corvette" but the Engels Corvette now has the NHRA permanent number assigned to Angelo DeCarlo.

Thursday September 03, 2020 at the US Nationals.

Jim, is there any updates on the Corvette of Terry. It would be very cool to see that car completed and on display.

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.
