This 1963 Corvette Z06 Tanker was delivered new to Dexter Chevrolet of Detroit, Michigan. Finished in Sebring Silver with a dark blue interior, it was equipped with 6.70x15 black sidewall tires, a U65 AM Signal Seek Radio, the N03 36-gallon fuel tank, 2-bar cast aluminum knock-off wheels, and the Z06 Special High-Performance Package. This package included metallic power brakes with a dual-reservoir master cylinder, heavy-duty stabilizers, heavy-duty shocks and springs, a Positraction rear axle, a 4-speed manual transmission, and a 360-horsepower fuel-injected engine.
Only 63 Corvettes in the 1963 model year are believed to have been built with the N03 "Big Tank" option and the Z06 Special High-Performance Package.
Dexter Chevrolet was a well-known high-performance Chevrolet dealership located in the heart of Detroit, Michigan. Known for the slogan The Big Dealer On The Big Road, it was also recognized as the only Chevrolet dealer located on 8 Mile Road.
It is verified by the NCRS Shipping Data Report that this Corvette was delivered new to Dexter Chevrolet. It is also documented in the C2 Corvette Registry that this Z06 is believed to be a COPO car, ordered with 2-bar cast aluminum knock-off wheels.
The Z06 Special High-Performance Package was a product of Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov. Along with the high-performance engine, the Z06 package added larger brakes with elephant ear cooling ducts, internal cooling fins, and metallic brake pads.
Being that this Corvette was ordered just down the street from Zora?s home base in Detroit, it?s clear someone had inside information about this factory race car and placed their order with racing in mind.
This Z06 eventually made its way to Florida, where its restoration began. A collector from Bakersfield, California, purchased the Corvette in under restoration condition, and it was completed to Concours condition under his ownership.
Joe Verrillo of Verrillo Motor Car later purchased the fully restored car and entered it into the NCRS judging system, where it received a Top Flight Award at the 2022 Northeast Chapter Meet and a Regional Top Flight Award at the 2024 Northeast Regional Meet in Marlboro, Massachusetts. He also took the Z06 to the Bloomington Gold Show, where it earned a Bloomington Gold Award. Joe will go on to achieve a Gold Concours Award at MCACN and ultimately earn the coveted Triple Diamond Award.

All dreams start with passion, and for Joe Verrillo, his passion has always been Corvettes and GM muscle cars. At age 17, he started a tiny shop called Classic Auto Sales and Service with just a handful of cars. The company quickly took off due to Joe’s persistence, hard work, and love of the great American muscle car, and was subsequently renamed Prestige Motor Car.
The Prestige name carried forward for nearly 40 years, and in 2019, the company was renamed Verrillo Motor Car in honor of its founder.
Today, more than 45 years later, Verrillo Motor Car Company is a leader in Corvette, specialty, and highline cars. With nearly a dozen employees, VMCC is carefully creating, caretaking and curating some of the finest C1, C2 and C3 Corvettes in the world, as well as buying, trading and selling very select, high-quality late model Corvettes and specialty cars. All vehicles are thoroughly inspected and serviced by the VMCC team of technicians. Verrillo Motor Car also offers service, detailing, reconditioning, award winning frame-off restorations, custom restomods, world-wide transportation, and creative financing and extended service options.
In recent years, Verrillo Motor Car has added consignment and brokerage services as well, creating new world-class sales and buying options for their customers.
Through the years, VMCC has had a number of their meticulously crafted Corvettes featured in national publications including Corvette Magazine, Super Chevy Magazine, Hemmings Motor News, Hemmings Muscle Machine, and ‘Vette Magazine.
Verrillo Motor Car is proud to be a founding member of the National Corvette Museum, an active and multi-award winning participant in the National Corvette Restorer’s Society and Bloomington Gold, and sponsor of such great organizations as The Saratoga Auto Museum and CAPTAIN Community Human Services.
