Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray split-window coupe showing 56,991 miles on the odometer at the time of this cataloging. Finished in Sebring Silver over a red vinyl interior, this C2 is offered with a clear title.
Tasked with a painstaking, factory-specification restoration of an iconic muscle car, Bayberry Vintage Autos (BVA) of Hampton, New Hampshire created the masterpiece seen here. BVA prides itself in high-quality OEM restorations; the company is driven by enthusiast passion fused with talents to restore, create, and preserve. Of all the classic cars that BVA has worked its magic with, this split-window 1963 Corvette stands out for its unique configuration and no-expense-spared treatment.
The car was refinished in its striking combination of a Sebring Silver paint job complemented by a red vinyl interior. Under the hood, the Rochester-fuel-injected 327ci small-block V8 has been rebuilt by Engines Limited in Omro, Wisconsin. In recent months, the car underwent over $18,000 in mechanical work by County Corvette in West Chester, Pennsylvania – a specialized facility with over 30 years of experience in Corvette preservation and restoration. This split-window has been built and maintained by the best of the best, and today, it is a muscle car suited to the most discerning Corvette aficionado.
