Vehicle Description
STK 3969 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Chevrolet introduced the Corvette String Ray in 1963 - the 'Split
Window' coupe. This beautiful String Ray 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".
