1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window For Sale - Rare Factory Color
Combination LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1963 Chevrolet
Corvette Split Window 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. As per the NCRS shipping data report, this 1963
Chevrolet Corvette was built on December 3rd 1962 and sold through
the original dealer C Speck Motors in Sunnyside, Washington. It was
ordered in a striking factory combination of 941A Sebring Silver
exterior with 490C Red vinyl interior. Under the hood, is the
numbers matching 327/300hp engine backed by the numbers matching
4-speed manual transmission and the CJ code 3.08 positraction rear
axle. It is also outfitted with Power Steering which reduces
steering effort needed at low speeds. This beautiful Corvette has
been sympathetically restored over the years and presents very well
today. Being an early production car built in 1962 it is complete
with the unique factory storage compartments under both driver and
passenger seats. The stunning Red interior remains in great shape
and appears largely original. Finishing the car's appearance is a
set of early production frosted hubcaps with white line bias ply
tires. This Split Window Corvette is a collectible car and would
easily be a centerpiece for any Corvette collector or enthusiast!
