Brief History About Chevrolet's Corvette Model:
The Corvette chassis and body shape were both completely redesigned for 1963, including a new Coupe model available for the first time! The hood would showcase simulated hood vents, and new lightweight aluminum knock-off wheels we offered as a dealer installed option. Engine choices were a carryover from 1962, but underneath, the chassis now incorporated an independent rear suspension with a transverse rear leaf spring. Additionally, the manual 4-speed transmissions we changed from Borg Warner to Muncie this year. All in all, the new C2 design became the footprint of the most collectible Corvettes produced through 1967, referred to today as the Mid-years.

About Our Available C2 Corvette Example:
We are excited to offer this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible finished in color code correct 912A- Silver Blue over 490B- Dark Blue vinyl interior, with a white convertible soft top. This is a very early example bearing chassis #265 indicating it was one of the first 300 units produced for eagerly waiting Chevrolet showrooms! Power comes from a date-code correct 327ci/ 340 horsepower V8 mated to a M20 Muncie wide ratio 4-speed manual transmission with improved Hurst shifter. Upgraded features include new cast aluminum wheels by Corvette America wrapped in 1” whitewall radial tires, Custom Autosound AM/FM/Aux/MP3 radio in the stock location, and single switch electric headlight operation by Detroit Speed Inc.

It has been recently restored in frame-off fashion including fully rebuilt mechanicals. The engine was rebuilt with the block & heads resurfaced for an optimum mating surface but did eliminate the original factory VIN & suffix stamps. The block casting number reads #3782870 with casting date H 14 2 (August 14th, 1962) which corresponds with an early September 1962 production vehicle, with factory trim tag showing body #140. This Corvette beauty also retains the Winters foundry aluminum intake #3794129, correct Carter AFB 3461S carburetor, finned aluminum valve covers, 7-blade clutch fan, and double-hump heads supporting what we strongly believe to be its factory issued drivetrain. The under-hood presentation has been beautifully detailed to include period tower clamps and GM hoses, original heat shields, proper chrome air cleaner, exhaust manifolds, and Harrison surge tank.

Further examination of this Corvette underneath will show all new suspension components including new rear leaf spring, all fresh braking system, new exhaust, rubber body bushings, and fuel system components. A remarkable amount of time and expense were contributed to make this a splendid road example with factory original appeal!
