NUMBERS MATCHING 327 V8 300HP MUNCIE M20 4 SPEED MANUAL STINGER HOOD RED/RED

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Description

Here's an iconic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with its numbers-matching small block, four-on-the-floor, and a truly distinct look.

Red always looks good on a Sting Ray, and recent investment in a respray means there's a nice gloss on this sunshine-friendly convertible. But what you'll probably really take notice of is the distinct black insert on the stinger hood. As a first-year Sting Ray, we weren't up to the big block era yet, but you absolutely understand the upgrade once you see it against the new black roof. Many convertibles don't look as good with the top up, but there's an undeniable attraction to this one's hint of two-tone that comes from the hood and roof coordination. And the brightwork gives you a well-done total package with the two-piece chrome bumpers, ribbed rockers, and hallmark Rally wheels with upgraded spinners.

The interior gives you that same red with black accents you love on the exterior. The C2 was a new era for the Corvette, and this was the debut year. As always, the made sure it's a driver-focused machine. That means a dual cowl dash that makes plenty of room for the full gauge package, including large speedo and tach. Bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a bright gear shifter calling out for your right hand - this Sting Ray knows how to speak directly to your enthusiast heart. And you'll also love that this one has nice vintage details, including the AM radio that's still cranking out tunes.

Under the upgraded hood is the numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V8. It has a tidy look with the bright air topper and Corvette-script valve covers. You'll also notice investments in upgrades, including the Edelbrock intake and four-barrel carburetor. The V8 fires up eagerly and idles nicely, so it's the right kind of package for hitting the road. Plus, you have full control with the four-speed manual transmission, and the fully-independent suspension make it one of the best V8 handling cars of the era.

Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, a first-year numbers-matching C2 is the kind of classic that always has a following. So don't miss this stick-shift convertible classic. Call today!!!
