The Story
A beautifully restored example of America’s most iconic sports car, this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in its stunning, factory-specified 900 Tuxedo Black with the equally striking factory 490 Red vinyl interior—one of the most desirable and timeless color combinations offered in the first year of the second-generation Sting Ray.
Under the hood sits the matching-numbers 327/300 HP V-8, paired with its matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the crisp, engaging performance that made the ’63 Corvette an instant legend. Authenticity and correctness are further validated by both CCAS Cylinder Case Affirmation and CCAS Trim Tag Certification, providing confidence that the car retains its true original identity.
The restoration presents exceptionally well throughout, showcasing excellent attention to detail from the engine bay to the interior finishes. Complementing its factory-correct appearance are knock-off wheels wrapped in redline radial tires, giving the car the perfect period-correct stance and completing the unmistakable midyear Corvette look. A rare opportunity to acquire an authenticated, beautifully restored, first-year Sting Ray convertible in one of the most sought-after color combinations, this Corvette is an ideal centerpiece for any Corvette or blue-chip American performance collection.
