1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window For Sale - No Expense Spared
Nut And Bolt Frame Off Restoration LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window The newly designed
'63 Corvette was flashy, muscular and powerful as this futuristic
fiberglass sports car was a symbol of post-WWII America that was
craving for individual expression. The radical exterior styling of
this Corvette generation was very purposeful, with peaked fenders,
a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail. The Quad headlamps were now
hidden - the first American car so equipped since the 1942 DeSoto
and the 1936-37 Cords. The hood had two simulated air intakes
within stylish indentations and the Coupe doors were cut into the
roof like a true racing sports car. The Sting Ray's interior
carried a new interpretation of the twin-cowl Corvette dash motif
used since 1958. A full set of round gauges included a huge
speedometer and tachometer, and the center stack was now somewhat
slimmer containing the clock and a vertically situated radio. The
first-ever production Corvette Coupe had the backbone divided rear
window split which was an extremely unusual styling element for its
time. This 'Split Window" with the glass flowing down the sides and
body sweeping artistically into the point at the back of the car
adorned by the large round deck fuel-filler flap with the
crossed-flags insignia. All 1963 cars had 327cid engines, which
made 250HP as standard and optional variants made were 300HP, 340HP
and 360HP. This incredibly restored 1963 Corvette Split Window
offered here for sale is a desirable early example built on
1/17/1963 and sold new at Luby Chevrolet in Denver, CO. Factory
ordered in the stunning color combination of 912 Silver Blue paint
matched with 490J Dark Blue vinyl interior which makes for a very
elegant specification. Power comes from the numbers matching solid
lifter 327ci/340hp engine backed by a manual transmission.
Additional options include power brakes, power windows, clock and
Am radio. To finish the look, this example has been outfitted with
a set of proper early restored frosted spinner hubcaps and brand
new white wall bias ply tires. This example has benefited from a
complete, frame-off nut and bolt restoration with no expense spared
during the process! The Silver blue paint is absolutely stunning
and has been wet-sanded and polished to a show-quality luster. The
interior has been beautifully retrimmed in the correct Dark Blue
vinyl. The engine compartment is beautifully detailed with the
correct style finishes on the parts surrounding the solid lifter
327ci. The underside looks just like it did when it rolled off the
assembly line in 1963 and perhaps even nicer than new. The Split
Window Corvette is one of the most iconic American sports cars ever
built and this example is the cream of the crop! It comes complete
with photos of the restoration process and complete with multiple
binders meticulously documenting the restoration. The quality of
this example is over the top and would be a standout in anyone's
collection. Additional Details: 1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE SPLIT
