Ground Up Built Corvette Split Window Coupe Restomod 6.2L LS3 V8 5-speed A/C

Featuring unforgettable styling, the new-for-1963 Corvette Sting Ray was available as a coupe or convertible and remains one of the finest of the many great designs from the legendary Bill Mitchell-led styling studios at General Motors. Thanks to its dramatic split-window rear treatment, a one-year-only feature, the 1963 Sting Ray coupe remains one of the most collectible and valuable of all classic Corvettes today. These second-generation Corvettes also offer the uncanny ability to adapt extremely well to customization, and this Pro Touring-style 1963 Corvette Sting Ray coupe is an outstanding example of the concept.

A frame-off custom build, this 1963 split-window Corvette features far greater power than stock with a 6.2L/480 HP LS3 GM V-8 engine equipped with electronic fuel injection and adjustable exhaust. A 5-speed manual transmission regulates rpms and sends power to a fully independent rear suspension.

Bathed in a beautiful Silver Metallic paint finish, the Corvette rides on a custom Billy Dawson’s Corvette Correction chassis utilizing C4 Corvette suspension front and rear, plus power rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping power is provided by a set of drilled and ventilated 4-wheel disc brakes incorporating a power assisted master cylinder.

The crisp red leather interior features custom upholstered bucket seats, door panels, and rear package area. The driver is greeted by a matching leather wrapped steering wheel mounted to a tilting column, plus Dakota Digital gauges. Comfort and convenience features include power windows, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio. Quad tipped exhaust, chrome front and rear bumpers, and stylish EVOD Industries 18″ three-piece wheels, which are a modern take on the factory ’63 Corvette wheel covers, finish it off.
