Vehicle Description
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
professional restoration (2002) of the exterior is superb, The
Solid Red finish is accented with 'Quick Take Off/Knock-Off'' alloy
wheels that mount Coker whitewall bias ply tires. (Based on sample
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".
