Corvettes for Sale: 1963 Corvette Split Window Stored for 20 Years on eBay

[ad_1]

It’s been 60 years since Chevrolet started building the now-legendary 1963 Corvette split window coupe.

The ’63 model year was the first one where Chevy built a coupe version of the Corvette, and production wound up being split pretty much evenly – with 10,594 coupes and 10,919 convertibles.

In 2022, “these are not getting any easier to find, and one with options even harder,” says the owner of this Sting Ray being offered on eBay for the next 22 days.

The car has just been pulled from storage where it had been waiting for more than 20 years, and now the seller says it would make a “fantastic restoration for someone” especially “with all the options this one has.”

Among those options are power steering (chosen by 3,063 customers), power windows (3,742), power brakes (3,336), leather interior (1,114), and automatic transmission (2,621).

Unfortunately, one glance shows that leather interior in desperate need of replacement, along with new carpet and door panels. On the other hand, the dash and instrumentation all remain in place.

As for the mechanical condition, the seller says he hasn’t tried to start the original numbers-matching engine so he doesn’t know its condition nor that of its two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.

The Saddle Tan exterior will definitely need a repaint but doesn’t appear to have suffered major body damage – just an assortment of minor repairs that will likely need to be checked out and possibly repaired again.

As for the undercarriage, the birdcage is said to appear “solid,” so that would be a plus.

About the only thing that doesn’t seem to be a plus is the asking price of $90,000. What’s your take on that?
