1963 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster

Documented Factory Tuxedo Black

On January 8, 1963, Captain Teddy Lind left Jackson Motors in Murfreesboro TN having treated himself to a late New Years present, a brand new, Tuxedo Black 1963 Corvette Roadster. He selected a fantastic group of options and specifications, previously mentioned code 900 tuxedo black paint accented perfectly by 490D red interior; to that he added the 300 hp 327 engine, 4 speed transmission and signal seeker radio. That is how the car remains to this day, having been meticulously restored from the ground up, all while retaining its numbers matching motor and much more. Capt. Lind must have seen the value in these cars and the accompanying paperwork, as that is what has really made this car even more special today, original bill of sale, receipts for proof of payment for the car, original owners manual aged but intact. Further pieces of the puzzle come in the form of a later owner and receipts for parts and work completed to the car. 1963 was the first year for what would become, quite possibly the most recognizable Corvette body style ever. What makes this beautiful Corvette so special is that pre-dates the existence of such things as tank stickers, to find documentation for such a car is a rare treasure. Great documentation, fantastic restoration, desirable color combination, numbers matching motor all equated to a truly impressive opportunity for the Corvette collector or enthusiast.
