1963 Chevrolet Corvette C2

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a 327ci V8 paired with a two-speed automatic transmission and is finished in blue over dark blue upholstery. Equipment includes a removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, 15″ steel wheels with three-eared knock-off spinner-style hubcaps, power windows, a push-button AM/FM radio, and concealed headlights. The current owner acquired the car in 2009, and the transmission is said to have been rebuilt in 2020. This C2 convertible is now offered on behalf of the current owner with manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean Kentucky title. The fiberglass body left the factory finished in Silver Blue (912A), and it is said to have been repainted in 1992. Features include a removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, flip-up headlamps, fender vents, quad tail lamps, chrome bumperettes, and dual exhaust tips that exit through the rear valance. There is a tear in the soft top by the bottom right corner of the rear window and paint blemishes are shown up close in the gallery. Silver-finished 15” steel wheels feature three-eared knock-off spinner-style hubcaps and are mounted with 205/75 Coker Classic tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums. The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in dark blue vinyl as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a heater, a push-button AM/FM radio, an analog clock, power windows, and lap belts. There are rips on both the driver and passenger seat bottoms. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline as well as gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 81k miles, approximately 1,400 of which were added under current ownership. The 327ci V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor for a factory rating of 250 horsepower. The engine stamping includes sequence 120347, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. The SC suffix corresponds with a 250-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with an automatic transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission that is said to have been rebuilt in 2020.
