1963 Chevrolet Corvette

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window

  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. 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.

  As per the NCRS shipping data report, this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette was built on December 3rd 1962 and sold through the original dealer C Speck Motors in Sunnyside, Washington. It was ordered in a striking factory combination of 941A Sebring Silver exterior with 490C Red vinyl interior. Under the hood, is the numbers matching 327/300hp engine backed by the numbers matching 4-speed manual transmission and the CJ code 3.08 positraction rear axle.  It is also outfitted with Power Steering which reduces steering effort needed at low speeds.

The stunning Red interior remains in great shape and appears largely original. Finishing the car’s appearance is a set of early production frosted hubcaps with white line bias ply tires.
