1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 4-Speed

A true American icon — this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split Window Coupe represents one of the most collectible and celebrated years in Corvette history. 1963 marked the debut of the second-generation (C2) Corvette, introducing a completely new chassis, independent rear suspension, and the now-legendary split rear window — a one-year-only feature that instantly made the ’63 Sting Ray one of the most recognizable and desirable Corvettes ever built. Finished today in a deep Dark Blue, this example presents with timeless presence and character, reflecting decades of care and preservation.
Power comes from a 327 cubic inch V8 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission. The car was originally fuel-injected, but the engine was replaced in 1973 with a period-correct 327, while the numbers-matching transmission remains. It has been Whatcom County, WA owned since new, with a well-documented local history. In 1973, it received its wide-body fender conversion and repaint, giving it a distinctive period-correct custom look. After being stored since 1986, it recently received new tires, brakes, and a tune-up, and now runs and drives well — an excellent driver as-is or a prime candidate for full restoration. Exceptionally complete and full of heritage, this Split Window Corvette stands as a rare opportunity to own a piece of American automotive history.
