Description

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe - a true icon that seamlessly blends classic Sting Ray design with cutting-edge performance and technology. This remarkable build is powered by a 6.2L LS3 V8 engine equipped with a Magnusson supercharger, delivering a staggering 791 horsepower. That power is channeled through a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission featuring a cryo-treated extreme upgrade rated for 1,000 HP and 950 lb-ft of torque. With just 213 miles since completion, this Split Window is in mint condition, offering both exhilarating performance and show-stopping appeal. Underneath, a custom mandrel-bent chassis from Street Shop Inc., designed for C7 suspension components, provides a modern driving experience. The chassis features a semi-gloss black powder coated finish for durability and style. Handling and stopping power come courtesy of adjustable QA1 Ultra Ride coil over shocks, Hydro-Boost power rack-and-pinion steering, and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with slotted and drilled rotors, red Wilwood calipers, and a tandem master cylinder. The Tri-coat Metallic White exterior with Gunmetal Grey Metallic stripes perfectly complements the custom Saddle leather interior with Chocolate trim, Vintage Air climate control, Classic Instruments Velocity Series gauges, and striking American Racing chrome wheels (19-inch front, 20-inch rear) wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. This Corvette embodies the perfect marriage of timeless design and modern engineering. Why you should buy it: Big power, manual transmission, big brakes in an iconic 63 split window.
