Chevrolet introduced the Corvette String Ray in 1963 - the 'Split
Window' coupe. This beautiful Stingray is a stunning example of the
classic that many consider to be the 'Holy Grail' of the Corvette.
The professional restoration (2017) of this coupe is outstanding.
The entire drive train - engine, transmission and differential -
appear to be matching numbers based on stamping. The exterior was
refinished in Sebring Silver (non-original color) and is accented
by steel wheels with correct '63 spinner wheel covers and Coker
American Classic w/w radials. All chrome is outstanding and the
dual '63-only 'hood grilles' look superb. The original interior was
Dark Blue Vinyl (code 490J), but currently has black seats, door
panels and dash along with the original Dark Blue carpeting that is
in very good condition. Every detail of the interior is top-shelf
including a handsome wood/alloy wheel. All gauges including the
clock are functional and the factory AM/FM 'Signal-Seeking' sound
system plays well, but there is a little static due to the fact
that a distributor modification does not allow for use of the
factory chrome ignition shielding.
The numbers-matching 327ci/300hp was professionally rebuilt to
stock specs and sounds magnificent through an aluminized exhaust
system. It is equipped with correct intake and Carter AFB 4-barrel
w/snorkel air cleaner. Other original factory original components
include the alloy valve covers and rams-horn exhaust manifolds. The
points/condenser distributor has been replaced with an HEI unit
w/mechanical tach drive and the alternator has also been upgraded
to a newer version ('73-'74 unit). The small-block is backed by a
Borg-Warner T-10 4-speed manual gearbox w/factory shifter and the
differential stamp indicate a 3.36:1 posi-traction unit. The solid,
clean chassis features power steering and factory drum brakes have
been upgraded to 4-wheel power disc units with Delco calipers and
dual-master cylinder. If you are looking for a beautiful, carefully
restored Corvette split-window, you need to inspect this Stingray -
you will not be disappointed. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
