Finished in Daytona Blue over blue vinyl interior, this stunning
1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe represents one of the
most iconic and historically significant American sports cars ever
produced. Combining rare high-performance factory options with a
meticulous concours-level restoration, this fuel-injected Split
Window stands today as an exceptional example of Chevrolet
engineering and design during the golden era of American
performance. Powered by the legendary L84 327
cubic-inch fuel-injected V8 engine, this Corvette was factory rated
at 360 horsepower and paired with a four-speed manual transmission
and highly desirable 4.11 Posi-Traction rear axle. Further
enhancing its performance pedigree are factory metallic brakes,
whitewall tires, and its highly desirable factory radio delete
configuration, emphasizing the car?s pure performance-oriented
character and competition-inspired purpose when ordered
new. According to the included NCRS Shipping
Data Report, this Corvettes official GM production date was April
23, 1963, and it was delivered new to Hopkins Chevrolet Olds. The
car has since undergone a comprehensive frame-off restoration
completed in 2024, spanning approximately three years and executed
to the highest standards throughout. Every component was carefully
restored, refinished, or rebuilt with an unwavering commitment to
factory authenticity and presentation. The result is a Split Window
Coupe restored to an extraordinary level of accuracy and
detail. The quality of the restoration was
formally recognized when the car achieved an NCRS Top Flight Award
in April 2024 at the NCRS Kansas City Chapter judging meet held on
April 5, 2024. Earning an outstanding final score of 99.2, this
Corvette stands among the finest restored examples in the country.
Included with the vehicle are all NCRS judging sheets documenting
its award-winning evaluation, along with the NCRS Shipping Data
paperwork. Adding to the car's remarkable provenance are vintage
period photographs showing the Corvette displayed at car shows as
well as images capturing the car running at National Trail Raceway
in Ohio, offering a fascinating glimpse into its early enthusiast
history and performance heritage. Accompanying
documentation is extensive and includes a bill of sale dated May
16, 1963, the Dealer invoice, previous original titles, ownership
history, protection plan booklet, reproduction window stickers, a
comprehensive binder of restoration receipts, NCRS judging
documentation, and NCRS shipping data records. Together, these
materials provide exceptional historical continuity and reinforce
the authenticity and significance of this investment-grade Split
Window Coupe. The 1963 Corvette
Split Window remains one of the most celebrated and collectible
American automobiles ever produced, and examples equipped with the
L84 fuel-injected engine, four-speed transmission, 4.11
Posi-Traction rear axle, and factory radio delete configuration
represent the pinnacle of first-year Sting Ray performance.
Restored to concours standards and supported by exceptional
documentation and award history, this Daytona Blue Split Window
Coupe presents an extraordinary opportunity for the most discerning
collector or enthusiast.
