1963 Chevrolet Corvette

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window for your consideration! This Vet comes in a red exterior paint and Black vinyl interior. Powering this iconic vehicle is a 327ci V8 crate motor mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. This Split window was ordered new Montgomery Chevy in Louisville. 1963 Corvette Coupes are affectionately nicknamed “Split Windows” after the divided rear window that was eye-catching but also controversial. GM Head Designer Bill Mitchell fought Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov for the inclusion of the feature. After the 1963 model year, the GM executives sided with Duntov and the Split Window was just a one-year happening. The distinction of this rare look, and the birth of the stingray causes Split Windows to be one of the most highly sought after American collector cars. Please call or email us today for more information.

The Corvette launched its 2nd generation with the birth of the Stingray with a complete redesign barely resembling its predecessors. The Stingray was lighter, had independent suspension, and was aerodynamically tested. The only American cars that could produce similar speed were large, heavy Super Stock optioned Mopars and Super Duty Pontiacs. For the first time, the United States had mass-produced a true all-around sports car.
