Quote from Noland Adams, The Complete Corvette Restoration & Technical Guide Vol. 2, 1963 through 1967
Cars equipped with Powerglide were driven more carefully and are less modified, thereby lending themselves to restoration.

There was a total production of 2,621 Powerglide transmissions for the 1963 Corvette; 1,116 were installed with the base engine (250 hp) and 1,505 were installed with the L75 engine (300 hp).
There was a total production of 21,288 domestic 1963 Corvettes; 10,821 were convertibles (51 percent) and 10,467 were coupes (49 percent).
If the same percentages apply to Powerglide transmission equipped cars, then 49 percent (share of coupe production) of 1,505 (300 hp equipped cars) yields 740, 1963 Corvettes with 300 hp engines equipped with a Powerglide transmission.
