For Sale at Auction: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette in Scottsdale, Arizona

Nicknamed the "Night Train," this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Split-Window Widebody Coupe was designed and built by John Shope Designs. The body of a 60,000-original-mile Corvette Split-Window was lifted from its chassis and transformed with a handcrafted widebody kit, fully bodyworked inside and out, then painted and cut and buffed to perfection in a custom PPG Candy Blue finish. Flush-mounted glass and a custom hood were designed to house a Texas Speed-built LT4 powerplant producing over 640hp. Power is delivered through GM's 8-speed automatic transmission to a Roadster Shop chassis, with every component powder-coated in Burnt Silver and paired with Brembo brakes, power steering and power disc brakes for modern drivability. Rolling on true one-off Curtis Speed wheels - 19-inch fronts and 20-inch rears - inspired by the 1963 hubcap design, the exterior is further enhanced with carbon-fiber bumpers, a custom grille and a switch-controlled stainless exhaust system capable of exiting through the rear center or behind the front wheels. Custom CNC-machined emblems, hood accents and fender details complete the striking look. Inside, Italian leather with octagon and diamond stitching wraps the cabin, complemented by an Alcantara headliner. The dash, inner rear fenders and panels are painted and polished to a glass-like finish, echoing the Candy Blue exterior. Custom gauges, aircraft-inspired switches, Bluetooth stereo, power windows and air conditioning seamlessly blend modern comfort with timeless design. Luxury details set "Night Train" apart: a removable, custom-built suitcase in the rear reveals a display case featuring a rare bourbon, Versace glasses and a signed metal display plate - making this Corvette as refined as it is ferocious. Every component on this car is brand-new, yet it proudly retains its original 1963 VIN tag.
