Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe

About

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe is an iconic American sports car renowned for its unique design. It was the first production Corvette coupe with a fastback body, featuring a distinctive split rear window that bisects the backlite into two halves. This design element, though aesthetically striking, compromised rear visibility, leading to its replacement with a single rear window in subsequent models. The Sting Ray's body is made of fiberglass, supported by a strengthened steel structure, enhancing both safety and maneuverability. The Corvette Sting Ray boasts a powerful 327 cubic-inch V-8 engine, available in various configurations up to 360 horsepower. Paired with a four-speed manual transmission, it offers impressive performance. The interior features a twin-cowl dashboard with round gauges, providing a functional and stylish driving experience. With only 10,000 coupes produced, the 1963 Split-Window Corvette is highly sought after by collectors, making it a prized piece of automotive history. Its blend of style, performance, and rarity has cemented its status as a beloved classic car.
