While every generation of GM's halo car has a strong argument for
which one is best, this triple black1963 Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible makes a strong case for the C2. Fully repainted in its
original Tuxedo Black, this first-year second-gen car showcases the
introduction of a (then) advanced new suspension and
wind-influenced aerodynamics, resulting in its sleek yet aggressive
body lines. And with just 595 miles on it since it was built,

Inside, we find an attractive stock-style black vinyl interior. A
center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while a
three-spoke, power-assisted, padded steering wheel sits ahead of a
six-pod gauge cluster featuring a big 7,000-rpm tachometer and a
160-mph speedometer. The center stack is highlighted by a large
analog clock, accompanied by simple pull-and-twist HVAC controls
featuring a switch for upgraded R134a air conditioning and a
vertical RetroSounds AM/FM stereo, maximizing the remaining
space.
Under the signature front-hinged hood, we find a clean engine bay
with a 327-cubic-inch overhead-valve V-8. A single four-barrel
Edelbrock carburetor sits atop a matching intake manifold, while
stock-style exhaust manifolds feed into a true dual side-exit
exhaust. That power is routed through a tried-and-true Borg Warner
T10 four-speed manual transmission before being sent out to the
rear wheels, where fifteen-inch wheels with knock-off-style center
caps are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
