1963 Chevrolet Corvette

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible â?" Numbers Matching 327/340hp, Muncie 4-Speed, NCRS Documented Why This Car Is Special The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most significant years in the entire C2 generation, and that is not a casual statement. The C2 Sting Ray â?" introduced for 1963 after Chevrolet retired the first-generation C1 â?" represented a complete reinvention of the Corvette formula. Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda delivered a body design that drew directly from the 1959 Stingray racer and the XP-720 show car, giving the production Corvette its first truly purpose-built sports car architecture. The 1963 model year is also the only year the coupe received its famous split rear window, making it the most discussed single year of C2 production.
