Rare silver 1963 split window 327/360 Fuelie Corvette. This incredible split window Stingray has undergone an extensive frame off restoration and was upgraded in the process with some very tasteful upgrades. The Corvette body was removed from the frame and sanded down to the gel-coat. The body had great fitment, the bonding strips were all intact and there was no evidence of any accidents. The original color was Sebring Silver. The decision was made to go with House of Kolor's Orion High Impact Silver. The paint and body work on this car is exceptional and reminds you of the futuristic Duntov and Harley Earl designs showcased at the 1962 Motorama. Under the hood is amazing and looks factory original with a correct 327/360hp rebuilt, replacement block in thee car, topped off with a fuel injection setup and less than 500 break in miles. The second engine pad picture shows the original 327/360 block stampings, that decode as the original numbers matching and date code correct stampings with correct broach marks. Unfortunately the block was damaged and the mechanic shop misplaced the original block, however the picture proves its authenticity of this being a real fuelie car. The replacement block could be re-stamped to match the original vin # if the next owner chooses to take the car back to original NCRS judging standards. The previous owner wanted the rumble of side exhaust which was not available late 1963, so made the decision was made to change the rear valance and upgrade the car with side exhaust. A freshly painted rear valance with exhaust cutouts and side trim come with the car if you prefer factory rear exhaust. The Borg Warner 4-speed was upgraded to a more durable Muncie 4-speed transmission with a Hurst shifter for better shifting with less synchro noise. The black bucket seat interior is a very nice mix of new and very well preserved original. The dash cluster, gauges, clock and radio were professional refurbished and refaced by CGR Restoration in South Carolina, they look factory correct and new with the correct 6500 redline tach. This shimmering silver Corvette is set off by brand new chrome turbine style US Mag with performance radials and looks amazing. Other wheel options are available if you prefer the stock look.
