1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible
Overview
Presenting a classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible, an iconic American sports car that seamlessly blends timeless design with exhilarating performance. This model is equipped with a 327 cubic inch (5.4L) V8 engine featuring a four-barrel carburetor, delivering approximately 300 horsepower to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This Corvette is considered a presentable driver-quality car, meaning it is in good condition for regular use while showcasing its classic appeal.
Key Features
- Engine and Transmission: The robust 327ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission ensures an authentic and engaging driving experience.
- Exterior and Tops: The car boasts a striking red finish in great condition, with only a few hardly noticeable rock chips. It is complemented by a new black canvas soft top. A body-colored detachable hard top is also included; however, it was not repainted during the car's respray and retains its previous color. Originally, the Corvette was finished in Ermine White (paint code 936), reflecting its authentic heritage.
- Wheels and Tires: Fitted with American Racing wheels in good condition and new Nokian tires, the Corvette not only exudes style but also promises reliable traction and handling.
- Interior: The black vinyl-trimmed cabin features a wooden-rimmed steering wheel, adding to its vintage charm. The interior shows normal wear consistent with its age, contributing to its classic appeal.
Condition and Maintenance
- Body and Paint: The body is in excellent condition with no cracks, and the door and hood gaps are well-aligned, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship. The frame is solid, with repairs noted on the end caps. The car has undergone a respray in the past, maintaining its vibrant appearance.
- Electrical Components: Most electrical systems are functional, including gauges such as tachometer, speedometer, fuel, oil pressure, and temperature. Additionally, the fan, turn signals, horn, and wipers are operational. However, the original radio and clock are present but currently non-operational.
- Glass and Windows: All glass components are in good condition, and the manual windows operate smoothly, rolling up and down as they should.
- Rubber Moldings: The rubber moldings are well-preserved, contributing to the vehicle's overall integrity and appearance.
- Headlights: The flip-up headlights are a distinctive feature of this model and are operational, moving up and down as intended. However, it is noted that the headlight latches, especially on the passenger side, may require some refurbishment—a common issue in 1963 Corvettes. This could involve addressing potential misalignment or wear in the headlight motor drive assemblies.
- Inspections: The car has passed the Swedish safety inspection and, being classified as a classic car, is now exempt from further inspections.
