For Sale: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

STK 3261 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Chevrolet introduced the C2 Corvette Stringray in 1963, - the 'Split Window' coupe. This fully restored 1963 Stringray is a magnificent example of the car that many consider to be the 'Holy Grail' of the Corvette. The current owner has shown this award-winning Corvette at some of the most prestigious classic car events in the country including the Hilton Head Concours Show. It has been NCAS flight winner and was a Senior AACA candidate. The original window sticker (laminated) from Nance Chevrolet in Asheboro, NC is also included with the car. The professional restoration (2002) of the exterior is superb, The Solid Red finish (original color) is accented with 'Quick Take Off/Knock-Off'' alloy wheels that mount Coker whitewall bias ply tires. (Based on the copy of the window sticker, these were optioned on the car as original equipment.) Chrome is outstanding and the dual '63-only hood grilles look superb. The fully restored black vinyl interior is virtually like new. A factory AM 'Signal-Seeking' radio hums nicely, but does not sing right now - needs some TLC. There is a beautiful wheel, tinted glass, new weather stripping and all gauges including the clock are functional. The original engine was a 327ci/300hp small-block. This 327ci block is not matching numbers, but is the correct '63 year 327ci engine. We believe that cylinder heads are from a '68 327/300 engine. This motor has been professionally rebuilt to stock specs and sounds magnificent. Every detail appears factory original including the chrome ignition shielding and rams-horn exhaust manifolds. The motor is backed by a 3-speed manual gearbox with Muncie shifter. (This is somewhat rare as the 4-speed was a popular option.) The chassis features manual steering and 4-wheel drum brakes. Suspension, brake and exhaust components have been renewed. If you are looking for a carefully restored Corvette split-window, you need to inspect this Stingray - you will not be disappointed. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
