What gets better than the one-year only split-window coupe? How about a split-window survivor! This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sing Ray holds so much historyand#44; and all of its up for grabs. These pictures tell the story of one special coupe. That Ermine White is the same paint applied by the St. Louis factory 53 years ago. Yupand#44; this is a true surviving first-year C2 Corvette. That also means the ultra desirable split window fiberglass wasnt messed with over the years like some owners did by cutting it outand#44; just to put it back in when the 63 coupe prices skyrocketed decades later. Survivor cars have always been royalty in Corvette circles. They not only get their own high-prestige awardsand#44; but survivor Corvettes also even have their own car shows. This one is a definite contender in that world when you take a look at how free the body is of any hitsand#44; and the chrome is still pristine. The factory spinner-syle hubcaps have even stayed on after all these years! Just because this is an untouched survivor doesnt mean you dont get what you want inside. The original black interior still looks as dark as midnight. The vinyl bucket seats even show very little wear for being in place for over five decades. A full array of gauges keep a comprehensive eye on the engineand#44; and their bright stainless faces and slender needles are miniature works of art. The Muncie four-speed shifter falls easily to handand#44; just inches away from the three-spoke steering wheel thats very European in its design. Running down the middle of the car is the optional AM/FM radioand#44; original heat/defrost controlsand#44; and the large factory clock thats still ticking away. This coupe even has power windows! It wouldnt be a true survivor without the correct motor. This is the numbers-matching unit of the Sting Rays upgraded L75 motor with an advertised 300 hp rating. It still has its finned valve coversand#44; and pie dish air cleaner lid that let people know how authentic this powerplant really is. The dual exhaust runs through the same pipes put on at the factoryand#44; and it still makes that perfect snarl as you row through the four forward gears. You might be ready for the survivor showsand#44; but we wouldnt blame you for just enjoying this on the road. After alland#44; the C2 was a leap ahead for the Corvette. Its independent rear suspension made it one of the best handling American cars of its eraand#44; and its optional power steering is quite niceand#44; too. And by the wayand#44; this one drives as tight and without and squeaks or noises as it did 50 years ago. This is an amazingly preserved iconand#44; right down to the original owners manualand#44; and it shows every sign of being an award-winning coupe. You can show it or drive itand#44; but were willing to bet youre going to do both. Dont miss outand#44; call today!!! |
