Vehicle Description


1963 Corvette Split Window CoupeĀ 

1963

Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray coupe is in "excellent" condition, and

has been used "strictly for car shows and good-weather pleasure

drives." Under the hood is a "L75"-code 300-horsepower 327-cu.in.

V-8 engine. Powerglide automatic transmission. Factory-style

knockoff wheels. Manufactured by KCM wheels to exact specifications

of the original Kelsey Hayes turbine wheels. You can read about

these wheels in the photos. Manual steering and power-assisted drum

brakes. Little explanation is needed for the classic 1963 Corvette

Sting Ray and the dramatic styling of the iconic split-window

coupe. Its rolling sculpture. The example offered here is in

Ermine White over red leather. According to the last owner it is

said to have been purchased in its current condition and is

believed to be largely original, down to the 36,400 miles on the

odometer. The details of previous restoration work are unknown. It

is believed to be original, although a rebuild history is unknown.

Carter aluminum four-barrel carburetor, the engine is said to

"start easily with a few pumps of the gas pedal," with no smoke and

no leaks. The complementing two-speed automatic is also reported to

"shift perfectly." The cooling system has been upgraded to include

a thicker aluminum radiator and an electric fan. This Sting Rays

Ermine White paintwork matches the "936" code on the

interior-mounted trim tag. The history of the paintwork is unknown,

but the previous owner notes its condition as "95 percent," with no

blemishes and no reported swirl marks. The exterior trim and

chrome, including the 1963-only aluminum simulated hood grilles,

appear to be in very good condition, with no pitting in the chrome

bumpers. The body lines and panel gaps also appear to be in very

good shape. Dressed in red, this Corvettes cockpit casts a

striking contrast to the white exterior. The previous owner reports

the cabin is in "excellent" condition, with some age-related wear

is evident in the seat covers, but no holes or rips. Additionally,

the carpet and headliner are said to be in "excellent" condition,

while the gauges are reported as functional. The same goes for the

radio, which is a later cassette unit from Custom Autosound. There

is some visible wear in some of the interior trim, along with a

small crack visible in the wood-rimmed steering wheel, but the

overall presentation of the interior seems very good. The previous

owner asserts the suspension and chassis components are in good

condition, with no known issues or needs, and have been maintained

to stock specifications. No known rust in the chassis, either.

Equipment includes manual steering and power-assisted drum brakes,

both of which are said to work well. The car rolls on "like-new"

radial tires mounted on factory-style knockoff wheels. The tires

are said to be in "excellent" condition and show virtually all of

their remaining tread, while the wheels are said to be in "very

good" condition. This is an early Corvette as it has under seat

storage for both seats. We have been very impressed with the

overall condition. I
