The bodies and their dimensions¹²³⁴⁵one source

Chevrolet's own sheets, read off the page images: the AMA sheets of October 1962 (1963), September 1963 (1964) and 1965, the specifications page of the 1966 kit and the dimension page of September 1966 (1967). The 1964 sheet gives one height, 49.8; from 1965 the height is the coupe's, and the convertible is 49.8 (1963: 49.8 with the soft top, 49.3 with the hardtop). The 1965 width is the sheet's W103; it gives 69.6 as W106. Weights are GM's curb weights: 1963 with the 250-hp engine and three-speed, 1966 with the standard V8; coupe · convertible. Wikipedia's infobox gives a length of 179.3 in, which matches none of the sheets.
