Vehicle Description
An extremely rare and desirable, black and red 1963 split window
coupe, pedigree car with a numbers matching 327/340 hp engine and
4-speed transmission. This 1963 split window coupe was purchased
new in North Carolina and spent its life there with one owner until
his death when it was found stored in a climate controlled basement
with new car paperwork and registrations still in the glove box.
Extensive frame off restoration performed by Dale Ledbetter of
Hendricks Performance. This has been a collections centerpiece with
less than 5 miles on the very correct and comprehensive build. This
black beauty is a NCRS TopFlight blue ribbon award winner for
excellence scoring 97.5 points
in restoration and preservation, presented by the National Corvette
Restorers Society, North Carolina Chapter. This gorgeous black
stingray has mirror finish paint over a laser straight body with
incredible body lines and the bonding strips are all there and
intact. Show quality chrome all the way around. This is a true
black/red car, with original trim tag and vin tag in place that has
been authenticated by some of the most senior judges in the NCRS.
The frame off restoration was performed by true professionals and
was done to the highest of standards. The correct red interior is
impeccable and appears like new and a dash that was restored to
very high end restoration standards. Under the hood embellishes a
date code correct and numbers matching, rebuilt 327 c.i, 340 hp V8
engine that is topped off with correct heads, valve covers,
snowflake intake and ignition shielding and air cleaner.
