It’s the car of many a Corvette fan’s dreams: a real Red-on-Red 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray split window coupe, powered by the small block V-8/4-speed drivetrain and restored in frame-off fashion without regard for expense. Although this car’s Riverside Red paint was a popular color in 1963 it was seldom paired with a Red interior, a combination that has since become very attractive to collectors.
The same can be said of this car’s
matching numbers L76 327 CI engine, a free-revving powerhouse with
Carter 4-barrel carburetion, a high lift hydraulic cam and a
compression ratio of 11.25:1. This compact and reliable engine
generated 340 HP at 6,000 RPM and a surprising 344 lb/ft of torque at
4,000 RPM, just the thing to back up with a 4-speed manual
transmission. An immaculately turned- out Split Window coupe in great
colors and with a great engine.
