1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window For Sale - NCRS And Chevy
Vette Fest Award Winner LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window 327/300hp The newly designed
'63 Corvette was flashy, muscular and powerful as this futuristic
fiberglass sports car was a symbol of post-WWII America that was
craving for individual expression. The radical exterior styling of
this Corvette generation was very purposeful, with peaked fenders,
a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail. The Quad headlamps were now
hidden - the first American car so equipped since the 1942 DeSoto
and the 1936-37 Cords. The hood had two simulated air intakes
within stylish indentations and the Coupe doors were cut into the
roof like a true racing sports car. The Sting Ray's interior
carried a new interpretation of the twin-cowl Corvette dash motif
used since 1958. A full set of round gauges included a huge
speedometer and tachometer, and the center stack was now somewhat
slimmer containing the clock and a vertically situated radio. The
first-ever production Corvette Coupe had the backbone divided rear
window split which was an extremely unusual styling element for its
time. This 'Split Window" with the glass flowing down the sides and
body sweeping artistically into the point at the back of the car
adorned by the large round deck fuel-filler flap with the
crossed-flags insignia. All 1963 cars had 327cid engines, which
made 250HP as standard and optional variants made were 300HP, 340HP
and 360HP. This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window was built on
June 13th,1963 and ordered with the optional 327/300HP engine and
4-speed manual transmission. It was sold new at Baldwin Auto Co in
Baldwin, NY, which later became the famous Baldwin Chevrolet. They
worked hand and hand with Joel Rosen of Motion Performance to sell
some of the fastest and baddest Hi-Performance Chevrolets in the
country. As per the trim tag, it was factory ordered in the
ultra-rare and desirable code "916" Daytona Blue paint with
complementing "490" Blue interior. Today, it retains its numbers
matching 327/300hp engine and numbers matching 4 speed transmission
which is very rare. This beautiful Corvette has previously
benefited from a full and complete body off restoration to a show
quality finish. The paint was wet sanded and polished to achieve a
glass like reflection. The interior remains in great shape and
outfitted with power windows and Am/Fm radio. Engine bay and
undercarriage have been well detailed with correct paint finishes,
shims markings, paint dabs, chalk markings, components and
accessories. Finishing the car's appearance is a set of knock off
wheels with Firestone white line bias ply tires. In summary, this
1963 Corvette Split Window 327/300hp is a beautiful numbers
matching example that was previously frame off restored to a show
quality standard. Due to its restoration quality, it had gone on to
win awards at both at NCRS and Chevy Vette Fest. These iconic, one
year only, Split Window Corvettes are a proven collector car and
would easily be a centerpiece for any Corvette collector or
enthusiast. Additional Details: 1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE SPLIT
