OWN A PRIME PIECE OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY
The 1963 Sting Ray production car's lineage can be traced to two
separate GM projects: the Q-Corvette, and Bill Mitchell's racing
Sting Ray. The Q-Corvette exercise of 1957 envisioned a smaller,
more advanced Corvette as a coupe-only model, boasting a rear
transaxle, independent rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes,
with the rear brakes mounted inboard. Exterior styling was
purposeful, with peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed
tail.
The first-ever production Corvette coupe sported a fastback body
with a long hood and a raised windsplit that ran the length of the
roof and continued down the back on a pillar that bisected the rear
window into right and left halves.
The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray not only had a new design, but also
newfound handling prowess. The Sting Ray was also a somewhat
lighter Corvette, so acceleration improved despite unchanged
horsepower. For the 1963 model year, 21,513 units would be built,
which was up 50 percent from the record-setting 1962 version.
