Vehicle Description
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe is an impeccably
done custom, with great options and a stand out look! 1963 was a
milestone year for the Corvette, with the introduction of the
"Sting Ray." Not only was the entire car completely redesigned from
the chassis up to the body but also, a coupe body was offered for
the first time in the car's 10 year history. That sports coupe body
has become colloquially known as the "Split Window" due to the
center wind split on the roof that ran through the rear glass
window. Chevrolet advertised the newly redesigned body on the
Corvette Sting Ray as having the "Silhouette [of an] American
Sports Car" with "New Grace and Elegance." One additional feature
incorporated into the new body design (on both the coupes and the
convertibles) was new "pop up" headlights which were not only a
styling gimmick but also contributed to the aerodynamic design of
the cars. This particular Sting Ray Coupe comes to us from a
collector who has owned the car for 40 years and who undertook and
oversaw the comprehensive restoration and customization of this
Corvette. Under the customized hood on this Split Window Corvette
is a numbers matching L-76 327 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a
single 4 barrel carburetor that pushed out 340 horsepower back in
1963. The L-76 327 V8 is mated to a 4 speed manual transmission
that is shifted using a floor mounted shifter and makes this '63
Corvette an absolute blast to drive. Power is sent to the rear
wheels via a positraction rear end so you can be sure that you'll
keep the rubber to pavement with this muscle car. Exhaust exits the
L-76 engine via a custom dual exhaust setup that is equipped with a
pair Flowmaster mufflers and give this Corvette a nice throaty
sound. Power brakes makes bringing this '63 Split Window to a stop
much easier. With air conditioning, you will be sure to stay cool
while cruising even on the hottest summer days. The chrome and
brightwork around the exterior of this 1963 Split Window Corvette
is exceptional, including the custom laser cut flamed hood inserts
and custom rocker panel moldings. Riding on Twisted Vista Intro
Wheels with 215/50ZR17 radials in the front and 235/55ZR17 radials
in the rear, this '63 Corvette has a great look and even better
ride. Perhaps the most special thing about this 1963 Corvette Split
Window Coupe is the eye-catching paint-job on this baby! The
two-tone paint is divided at the beltline by a Variegated Copper
foil stripe with House of Kolor Gamma Gold Base below and with UK-8
Kandy Tangerine with Pale Gold Metajules and ghost flames on top,
all of which was cleared over. Accenting the stunning highly custom
paint is custom pinstriping. Additionally, the emblems were removed
and replaced with impeccably done air brushed recreations that
almost look like the real deal. The interior on this 1963 Corvette
Coupe is absolutely stunning! The bucket seats have been
reupholstered in light saddle leather with embroidered checkered
flag Corvette emblems and seat belts were added as well. The light
saddle leather is carried throughout the interior of this Corvette
on the dash, door panels, headliner, center console,
leather-wrapped Intro custom steering wheel, and rear area. The
orange carpeting is also in fantastic shape and ties the exterior
and interior looks together. With an Ididit tilt steering column,
getting in and out of this custom C2 Corvette is much easier and
driving is much more comfortable. Believe it or not, but the dash
remains mostly stock coming with a 160 MPH speedometer, 7,000 RPM
tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, battery gauge,
and fuel gauge. An AutoMeter volt gauge is incorporated in the
center of the dash, along with a clock and upgraded AM/FM
entertainment system. Whether you're looking to buy your very first
classic Corvette or you're adding to collection of vintage customs,
this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe would make an
excellent choice. Give us a call today!
