1963 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel-Injected Split-Window Coupe

Few automobiles have achieved the notoriety of the Corvette Sting Ray, and the top of that heap is clearly the fuel-injected 1963 Vette. Chevrolet launched the second generation of America's Sports Car with a sexy aerodynamic design by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda, all while riding a thoroughly redesigned chassis with Corvette's first four-wheel independent suspension developed by Zora Arkus-Duntov. Also new for 1963 was the first-ever production Corvette Coupe with a split rear window — a feature that would not return after 1963, making it the signature identifying feature of these desirable closed Corvettes.

40, and consequently only 2,610 cars would leave the factory in 1963 so equipped. 70 gears. A noted Corvette expert, Roy Sinor, did an inspection in 2023 and verified the entire drivetrain and fuel-injection unit match and appears original.

The striking and uber-desirable color combination of Daytona Blue exterior over red interior and carpet is confirmed by the trim tag decode — believed to be 1 of only an estimated 10 to 28 examples to leave the factory in these colors with the fuel-injected engine. Delivered in July of 1963, it comes with an original warranty and owner's manual intact.
