This little red Corvette will liven up your collection.
The Chevy Corvette is easily the most popular sports car in America, and completely smashes the competition in the segment. Since the early ‘50s, the ‘Vette has wooed enthusiasts like no other car has, and Chevy’s darling really hit its stride by the time the second generation rolled around, making the 1963 Chevy Corvette one of the most popular American collector cars on the planet.
In 1963, the world met the Chevy Corvette Sting Ray, a moniker we’ve became extremely familiar with, especially after being picked back up for the C7. The model came with fiberglass body panels and a smaller stature. The looks were notably changed, and most would say it became way sportier than the C1. Although this is not a split window, it was the unique and unusual back window(s) that would also help increase the popularity of the 1963 Corvettes.
This particular example of the 1963 Corvette brings the iconic styling and gets a surprise assist from a modern powertrain. An LS engine, with supporting modifications, gives this Corvette modern pep, and it’s backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. In addition to the more powerful engine, this 1963 Chevy ‘Vette has Classic Instruments Gauges, suspension upgrades, and gets its power from a Wilwood Brake Master Kit & Front Caliper brake kit.
