Anybody with a 63 split window they hate can drop it off at my house.

I have never met anyone who did not love the 63 split window Vette.

I have owned a few Vettes in my time and would love to own the 1963 Split Window coupe. To me regardless of the blind spot made by the split window, I agree with the designer it makes the car look great. The most Iconic Corvette ever.

Took me 40 years from the time I fell in love with the 63 coupe to finally getting one 2 years ago.....dreams do come true!

I was never the biggest corvette fan but i think the 1963 split window corvette is an absolute classic. Beautiful car.

The 63 split window is one of the best looking Vette of all time.

I only hate the '63 because I will never be able to afford it

-I'll take that 1963 split window coupe, most definitely.

The 63 split? Wow, just wow. Its one of the most sought classic corvette.

Did an anvil fall on my head? I thought I heard him say 63 was one of the most hated.

I loved the split window, I remember being with my dad behind one at a traffic light and we thought it looked scifi like a rocket ship from a Godzilla movie or something.

The 63 split window was an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!! That was THE most beautiful Corvette that will ever be built. They should bring it back for a couple years.

I have been working on and driving my 1975 for the last two years and hope to do the motor this year, the first car I ever owned was a convertible and the Vtte will be the last, 77 year young loving it.

Split window coupe w/ side pipes = pure badass

If you hate a 63 hard top split back than you don't deserve to even drive the the shittyiest Chevy the 63 split back is one of the most beautiful vettes ever produced

'63 split window is the best looking car ever built by Americans! Who cares about a rear blind spot in a sports car!!! you need to be focused on what is in front of you in a vette!!!

The '61&'62 Corvettes are my favorites.

A list like this is incomplete without the 1980 305 powered California Corvette. Thats not a typo- a 305 putting out a yawn-inspiring 180hp and certainly not the torque of even a choked early-80's 350.

Having owned examples of all years up to the C5, I can say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. There are all fun.

I worked for a corvette shop in the 90s. Never once did I hear anyone say they hated any of the cars listed here. Especially the highly sought after one year 1963. The only negative I really ever heard was the electronics in the '84 and later. Mostly because if they fail they had to go to GM for a lengthy time to be refurbished.

People who hate on the '74 LS4 are overlooking one important thing - Chevy Big Block motors SOUND a million times better than the small block.

I love all Corvettes from all years, any model.

I have instructions in one of my old custom car magazines on how to cut out the center bar from your '63 Vette's rear window. I wonder how many guys did that. I'll take it with the center bar any day. The first Corvette I ever saw in '64 was a '63 split window. Me and my brother were on the roof of our garage and i spotted it in a neighbor's back yard, three houses away. I grabbed my camera and had to get down there to take pictures, which I still have.

Love the 63 Split Window! We had one in our family - wish we still had it!!

How is a split window '63 a hated car? Today it is the most sought after body style. George Barris had a body kit that shaved the fin and replaced the window with a '64's rear window, available for the '63 split. Many owners did this to their car not knowing what they command today. BJ Auction had one break 350,000 this year.

The '63 Split is the most Loved, not the most hated. No-one with testosterone in their blood hates that car! ;)

I have never heard anyone, ever, in 50 years, say they did not like the '63 split window corvette.

You still had 380 ft. lbs of torque in the 74 BB Corvette. No mention of the L-82 SB available in the '74 and how it matched up against the BB. Chevy had lots of over the counter parts available and they knew people would hop-up these motors plus GM played with the HP numbers, quoting net and not gross HP numbers after '70. These engines weren't as weak as people think.

The crappy cars of 1975 were the first of the big government inspired cars; no power, horrible mileage, and environmentally unremarkable. It's amazing the auto companies survived that (first) round of obscene regulations.

1974 LS4 454 big block Corvette did 0-60 in 6.4 seconds. 2018 Tesla Roadster 0-60 1.9 seconds. I still want the Corvette.

I have a "love hate relationship" with the '63 split window. I love it - and hate that I don't own one.

My uncle owns a 1963 split window 327/375. It's silver and has angle plug heads. I'm the proud owner of a 1990 ZR-1. I remember when these cars came out, they were way out of my price range and never thought I would own one. I found her May of 2019,close to where I live, had been sitting for several years. I bought her not even sure she would run. New fuel pumps, injectors, and a few other things. She fired up first time I turned the key. Now I'm driving her and enjoying bringing her back from the brink. Keeping the dream alive. 👍👍🏁🏁

My favorite car is the 63 split window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! got that one wrong.....

Are you insane? I am the proud owner of a 1963 Riverside Red Split Window. I have owned her since 1990 and updated her with disc brakes and Bilstein gas shocks bigger anti sway bars and beefier coils.

I bought my original 327 ci/ 350 hp ‘66 Coupe in 1983 from the original owner. I love that car.

Love my 75 stingray!!

I❤ split window corvettes!

i don't know if my beloved Corvette Stingray was hated and i don't really care !!! If i could afford to buy and maintain such a beautiful car i would without second thoughts !!!! Personally i find it a masterpiece !!!!!

I owned a 1988 Corvette 35th Anniversary edition. Also one of the few serialized corvettes. The C4 was a little tough getting in and out. GM described it as falling in and climbing out and falling in. I got a goosebumb or two on the side of my head. I love every Vette made.

not in the least interested in cars ,a friend of mine reffered me to this channel and said that the narrator has the best speaking voice ,incredibly therapautic ,glad to be a subscriber

The split window vette still looks awesome! Especially when so many cars look alike!

My all-time favorite is the '67 427 Coupe.

Can you imagine if General Motors introduced the all aluminum LS1 v8 making 325hp in 1975. It would have been on the front cover of every magazine for a decade.

1974 455SD Trans AM at the 74 454 Vette's lunch.

Yes the 1982 corvette had an underpowered motor, but it was still a beautiful c3 corvette( 1982 was the last year of the c3). In my opinion all c3 corvettes are great looking cars

I thought the '63 coupe was THE most loved Corvette of all time?! Utter nonsense, there is not a SINGLE Corvette fan who hates the '63 splittie. The argument between the designer and engineer is irrelevant.

If you have a problem with the split window, drive a 64/ 65 etc and be quite.

How about the 1980 California Emissions 305 V8 Corvette?

The split window does look like a fighter jet when you look at it backwards.

I love the split window corvette coupe. More than it's updated version.

Good, informative video with no unnecessary comments and unbiased. And yes the split screen is a piece of art and showed Europe they weren't the only ones who could design beautiful machines. For me this is desirable as an E-type.

The split window is an icon. The best looking Corvette ever.

The 1980 California Corvette with its 305 didn't even make this list?

So many people hate the 63 vette today that most people can only dream of owning one.

Thank you for making these videos. They're an enjoyable walk back in time.

63-64 split coupe, and convertibles are absolutely TIMELESS ....Lord, how could you hate that design!..EXACTLY!!....ITS PURE ART!!!!...WAAY BEYOND ITS TIME♥️♥️♥️👍IT ‼️...This is a nicely informative video also. Thanks and 🎩s. Off ‼️

the split window coupe is now priceless!

I love the look of the split window of the 63.

C5 owner here, loving the C1,.. 6 cylinder is fine, as it was to compete against 4 cylinder MG and Healy imports.. It was faster and just as nimble.. perfect for its time. The far more expensive Jaguar cars were 6 cylinder, though double overhead cam hemi chamber engines.. not a direct competitor to the early Corvette. People need to put these cars into historical context. The 150 horse blue flame was right for the time...

The split window of the '63 coupe had its critics, but nobody I know really hated it.

I'd take any Corvette from 1953 to 1984 and want to own it ! In the mid 80's until present day, they are too high tech for me.

Why hate it? Each and every Corvette is beautiful masterpiece, just ❤😘💞😍 love it.

The 1953 Corvette was a watershed automobile for the U.S. car industry, irregardless of it's 'underpowered' 6-cylinder engine. It had a beautiful, simple body design. The C2 Corvettes of all years are beautiful. My favorite body style however is the C4, especially the slight softening of the front body corners and the redesign of the back end as of the 1991 model year. And the clam-shell hood of the C4 body style makes access to the engine compartment very easy. Mine is a 1992 C4 convertible with the base LT1 engine and auto transmission. It is a beautiful car and has more than enough performance for me and surprise; it really isn't all that bad on fuel consumption considering it's level of performance. The Corvette continues to be a great value in world-class sports cars.

Great job on the video !! I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane........

how can the 53 and the 63 coupe be among the most hated when they are so collectible??

Good video but I do love the 63 split window. Only wish I could afford one.

Can anyone tell me the appreciation of the split windows? What were they like price wise in 1980, 1990, 2000...?

The 1963 rear split window is not a problem because you have no need to see behind you since you would be way out in front lol.!

1974 big block LS4 would be great to have and do a head and cam swap on. I bet you could lay down some big numbers.

OMFG, I love the '63 split window!

I LOVE the split window on the ‘63 coupe! It looks so cool with the ‘spine’ running along the roofline... one of my all time favourite American classic cars. There was a silver one someone had in my north London suburb back in the late ‘60’s & it looked absolutely amazing among the Ford Cortinas & Minis typical of the era here, and it became my dream car there and then... sadly all I can do is dream of ever owning one lol!

I own a crossfire 84. Crossfire is a very reliable system. If your skilled at fixing them, then its a piece of cake to work on. Also, its really not that difficult to make faster. Port intake manifoild, came, heads, bore out throttle bodies, fuel pump, and normaly 350 upgrades will increase hp. crossfire puts out around 600 cfms. its the intake that kills.

Great video....odd at the same time, with the '53-55 and the '63 on it....always liked the '53-67 Corvettes the best! 👍👌👏

1968-1972 are, by FAR, my favorite years of Corvettes. Reminds me of a beautiful woman's body! How can you beat that?

Should I try Royal Purple brake fluid conditioner?

Absolutely! The most beautiful American Sculptured classic....priceless!

1963 Corvette Coupe the most hated? None I know hates this car?

No one hates the '63, not even me, and I'm a Mopar Man. Best Vette ever!

Nice video; I was never into Corvettes until the '97 model. I'm really tall so I had lower back and leg issues in the older models. I still have one problem I 'll never solve. Getting in no problem. Getting out? I gotta put my hand on the street and crawl out. I would love to have a 2003 or so base model with 350 and six speed. My friend has an '07 model with super low miles; It's a blast!

The '63 split window is great. I don't know why anyone would "hate" it.

Most any seventies or eighties performance cars suck. Nearly 20 years in a performance desert.

i kind of dig the split window lol. its so unique

So, 1984 onwards, which is the best Corvette to go for? Or is there one to avoid? Is that 5.7 V8 reliable?

'61, '63' 67 and 1969 L88 are my favorites. I love the split window!

I’ve always thought the C2 looked best as a hardtop with the split rear window... every year after the 63 just didn’t look as good as the first year original.

I'm pretty confident if someone gave me a split window I could live with it.

I was surprised to see the 63 on this list, I understand why but it is still a timeless classic ... functionality be damned! 😎

The 1963 Split window is highly sought after and brings a premium at auction. The 1964 is the red headed stepchild of the C2 years. Now the 1963 Roadster is not all that popular however.

I don't know squat, but THE MARKET PLACE will tell you the "63 Split" is one of the most sought after Vettes out there. Saying 50% of the Corvette people hate it... caused you a huge credibility problem. Enough.

The split window just second to XKE Jag the most beautiful sport car design ever

Why on earth would anybody hate a Corvette? They have a massively important place in American Car history.

At 2:57, I like the ‘63 2nd Gen’s “knock-off” spinner hub caps. They look classy and are easy to remove and lock tighten the wheels like the old European sport/racing cars and should be revived.

This video is silly. Nobody hates these cars, especially in the Corvette crowd. The 63 Coupe is one of the most valuable classics around. The 75 convertible and 74 big block are collectible as well. If you wanted to make an interesting video you should have referenced reviews from the time period.

The 1963 Split window corvette is one of the most sought ever Corvettes ever !!!!

The problem with Crossfire Fuel Injection L83 was the intake manifold. Its flow was paltry. Put a Renegade or XRam intake on it, and it wakes up big time, surpassing a stock TPI L98 by a noticeable margin.

I’ve owned every generation of Corvette except Gen 1 and Gen 6. I still own 4 of them. Really the only generation of Corvettes I wasn’t big on was Gen 4. I owned 2 of them and they had their problems. They were good cars for their time but not compared to the C5 and generations after. And I don’t know anybody that hates the 63 split window. Their prices reflect their popularity.

you cant be serious man. the Stingray was the best looking corvette ever.

"Massive" blind spot MY ASS🙄🙄🙄

So if you were to buy the lowest price nice Corvette ,which year would you pick ? Thanks

You do a really excellent job with these touchy subjects. Just overall, really, but particularly with being fair about everything.
