Vehicle Description
1963 Sebring Silver Corvette Split Window Coupe w/Red interior
327/300hp 4-speed manual transmission.Every Corvette fan has their
favorite era year and model Corvette. Most if not all can remember
the first Corvette they ever laid eyes on the first Corvette they
ever rode in or better yet drove! It's an indelible memory. An
emotional thing that comes back to you every time you see your
favorite on the road or at a car show.There are many reasons people
chose to purchase a vintage sports car. But we think that above
everything else it's the "thing" you feel when you open up the
garage door and see your Corvette sitting there . . . beckoning you
to get behind the wheel.� Start her up and just listen to the
musical rumble of an exhaust note. Now from an emotional standpoint
anything goes. Any year that "does it" for you is all that matters.
But from a collector and/or investment standpoint not all Corvettes
are created equal. Take for example the '63 Split Window Coupe.When
introduced in '62 as a '63 model the car was an instant sensation!�
The lines of the car were timeless and are still fresh to this
day!� But what set the '63 Coupe apart from the later year C2's was
the very distinctive rear window. Or should we say windows?� This
unusual "split" rear window was anything but practical as it was
difficult to see out of. However as a pure design exercise it was
stunning!� Of course part of what makes the '63 so collectible
compared to its '64-'67 siblings was its one-year-only status. The
split window treatment was gone after '63 and in its wake a legend
was born . . .This very original SWC came to us from a collector
client in Northern CA.� Originally sold out of Capital Chevrolet in
Sacremento CA. to a farmer (believe it or not!).� After owning the
original Tuxedo Black SWC for a number of years the owner decided
that Black was just too hot in the Valley sun so he decided to
re-paint it Sebring Silver.� Now Tuxedo Black with Red interior is
just about the rarest and most desirable color combination to be
had on a '63 Corvette . . . Followed by Sebring Silver with Red
interior.� So Sebring Silver it stayed! The car has always been in
CA. and it shows in the overall condition.� Other than the re-paint
new seat covers (the originals come with) and radial tires the car
is all original and absolutely beautiful!� It's been expertly
maintained and everything works including the clock!� But what's
even better is the way it runs and drives!They're only original
once.� And there's something about the way an original Corvette
feels.� The way it runs.� Even the way it sits that you can't seem
to duplicate with a restored car.� This one just feels right.� And
drives like a dream!� The car features a correct matching #'s
327/300hp small block with a 4-speed manual transmission and a
factory am/fm radio.� That's about the extent of its options.� A
purist's dream no doubt!Stock #:6074 Visit Corvette Mike online at
