1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window For Sale - Numbers Matching
327/340HP, 4-Speed Legendary Motorcar is very proud to offer for
sale this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe. The newly
designed �63 Corvette was flashy, muscular and powerful as this
futuristic fiberglass sports car was a symbol of post-WWII America
that was craving for individual expression. The radical exterior
styling of this Corvette generation was very purposeful, with
peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail. The Quad
headlamps were now hidden - the first American car so equipped
since the 1942 DeSoto and the 1936-37 Cords. The hood had two
simulated air intakes within stylish indentations and the Coupe
doors were cut into the roof like a true racing sports car. The
Sting Ray's interior carried a new interpretation of the twin-cowl
Corvette dash motif used since 1958. A full set of round gauges
included a huge speedometer and tachometer, and the center stack
was now somewhat slimmer containing the clock and a vertically
situated radio. The first-ever production Corvette Coupe had the
backbone divided rear window split which was an extremely unusual
styling element for its time period. This �Split Window" with the
glass flowing down the sides and body sweeping artistically into
the point at the back of the car adorned by the large round deck
fuel-filler flap with the crossed-flags insignia. All 1963 cars had
327cid engines, which made 250HP as standard and optional variants
made were 300HP, 340HP and 360HP. This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette
Split Window was built in the St. Louis, Missouri Assembly Plant
and rolled off the line on Thursday, April 25, 1963. It wears the
extremely striking Tuxedo Black exterior very nicely complemented
by a Saddle Vinyl interior. Power is created by its numbers
matching 327/340HP engine and sent to the rear wheels via the
4-speed manual transmission. The Corvette has benefited from an
extensive restoration that included rebuilding the engine,
rebuilding the transmission, a fully detailed undercarriage and
much more. The wet sanded and polished paint shines and shows
beautifully, while the interior is in excellent condition. All
chrome has been restored and shines beautifully. This is one of the
most desirable mid year Corvettes there is. This '63 Split Window
has its numbers matching 340 Horse engine, increasing the rarity
and desirability coupled with the quality restoration make it a
truly great addition to any collection. Additional Details: 1963
