Vehicle Description
The Blue Beast! 1963 Daytona Blue Split Window, Pro-Street Corvette
Coupe, Performance built 600+HP 427ci engine, big fat tires and a
bad attitude. According to the previous owner who had this
incredible midnight blue street beast for over 30 years, this car
only has less than 5200 actual documented miles. It was a straight
line race car for many years and was believed to have less than
2200 miles total put on the car, later it was found in storage,
where it had been for many years; it has had less than 3000 miles
since being transformed into the Pro-Street Beast it is today. For
the collector that wants the Baddest Split Window Corvette on the
block, you could enjoy it exactly as it is or you take could it
back to original. The low mileage, no hit body, has incredible
panel fit and tight body lines that you would expect. It was
recently painted in correct (code 916) Daytona Blue. The car was
taken down to the gelcoat and no damage was authenticated. Several
coats of correct Daytona Blue paint was sprayed professionaly over
the stingray body then a very light coat of metallic ice was added
and coated in several coats of clear. The metallic ice can not be
seen unless under high intensity lights or bright sunshine hits the
finish. The chrome, glass, trim, light and tail light are what you
would expect on a low milage time bubble car. 1967 silver metallic
stinger hood was added to make more room for the engine and looks
great.
Under the hood is packed with performance built 427 cubic inch that
will bring the front tires off of the ground. This Blue Beast is
built to exceed 600hp with the Methenol Injection system. It is
currently set up to approximately 600 horsepower to be a litte more
street friendly and keep the plugs clean. High performance 427cubic

Inch custom exhaustWikipedia Information"The Chevrolet Corvette,
known colloquially as the Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a sports car
manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven
generations. The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the
GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited
for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship
called a corvette.[4] Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St.
Louis, Missouri, since 1981, the Corvette has been manufactured in
Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.""Production started for the 1963 model
year and ended in 1967. Introducing a new name, "Sting Ray", the
1963 model was the first year for a Corvette coup and it featured a
distinctive tapering rear deck (a feature that later reappeared on
the 1971 "Boattail" Buick Riviera) with, for 1963 only, a split
rear window. The Sting Ray featured hidden headlamps,
non-functional hood vents, and an independent rear suspension.
Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov never liked the split
rear window because it blocked rear vision, but Mitchell thought it
to be a key part of the entire design. Maximum power for 1963 was
360
bhp (270
kW) and was raised to 375
bhp (280
kW) in 1964. Options included electronic ignition, the breakerless
magnetic pulse-triggered Delcotronic first offered on some 1963
Pontiac models. On 1964 models the decorative hood vents were
eliminated and Duntov, the Corvette's chief engineer, got his way
with the split rear window changed to a full width window."American
