For Sale at Auction: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette in Scottsdale, Arizona

In 1963 there were 6,978 340hp L76 Corvettes built. It is common knowledge that 49.2 percent of 1963 production was the model 837 split-window coupe. The extrapolation for 340hp coupes indicates that approximately 3,437 340hp split-window coupes were built. The 1963 Sting Ray was a commercial success and hailed by the automotive press as one of the best Corvettes of all time. This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window coupe is powered by its original 327/340hp V8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. It was body-on-restored and finished in its factory original color of Silver Blue with nice chrome, whitewall tires and an AM/FM radio. Photo documentation of the restoration is included. The Corvette has been upgraded with a black leather interior, cast-aluminum knock-off wheels and side pipes. A total of 10,594 split window coupes were produced in 1963. The Trim Tag and VIN tag affixed to this example appear to be unaltered original GM issued items that have never been off the vehicle. The Trim Tag also reflects "H4," which is a production date that translates to the fourth week of April 1963 and corresponds with the known production time frame for this Split-Window of April 24, 1963. This Corvette comes complete with a 6-page physical inspection report from Corvette expert Roy Sinor.
