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".
