About This Chevrolet Corvette

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Chevrolet introduced the C2 Corvette Stringray in 1963, - Split Window; coupe. This fully restored 1963 Stringray is a magnificent example of the car that many consider to be the Holy Grail; of the Corvette. The Solid Red finish is accented with Quick Take Off/Knock-Off, alloy wheels that mount Coker whitewall bias ply tires. (Based on the sample window sticker, these were optioned on the car as original equipment.) Chrome is outstanding and the dual only hood grilles look superb. A factory AM radio hums nicely. There is a beautiful wheel, tinted glass, new weather stripping and all gauges including the clock are functional. The original engine was a 327ci/300hp small-block. We believe that cylinder heads are from a 327/300 engine. This motor has been professionally rebuilt to stock specs and sounds magnificent. Every detail appears factory original including the chrome ignition shielding and rams-horn exhaust manifolds. The motor is backed by a 3-speed manual gearbox with Muncie shifter. (This is somewhat rare as the 4-speed was a popular option.) The chassis features manual steering and 4-wheel drum brakes. Suspension, brake and exhaust components have been renewed. If you are looking for a carefully restored Corvette split-window - welcome.
