An extremely rare and desirable, black and red 1963 split window coupe, pedigree car with a numbers matching 327/340 hp engine and 4-speed transmission. This 1963 split window coupe was purchased new in North Carolina and spent its life there with one owner until his death when it was found stored in a climate controlled basement with new car paperwork and registrations still in the glove box. Extensive frame off restoration performed by Dale Ledbetter of Hendricks Performance. This has been a collections centerpiece with less than 5 miles on the very correct and comprehensive build. This black beauty is a NCRS TopFlight blue ribbon award winner for excellence scoring 97.5 points in restoration and preservation, presented by the National Corvette Restorers Society, North Carolina Chapter. This gorgeous black stingray has mirror finish paint over a laser straight body with incredible body lines and the bonding strips are all there and intact. Show quality chrome all the way around. This is a true black/red car, with original trim tag and vin tag in place that has been authenticated by some of the most senior judges in the NCRS. The frame off restoration was performed by true professionals and was done to the highest of standards. The correct red interior is impeccable and appears like new and a dash that was restored to very high end restoration standards. Under the hood embellishes a date code correct and numbers matching, rebuilt 327 c.i, 340 hp V8 engine that is topped off with correct heads, valve covers, snowflake intake and ignition shielding and air cleaner.  Original rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission and rear end. A split window of this pedigree rarely becomes available and is great opportunity to own a true piece of Corvette history.
