A beautifully restored 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window coupe is now available for sale in Utah. Revered as one of the most iconic Corvettes ever made, this particular model has undergone a detailed refurbishment, making it a prized collector’s item. With its distinctive split rear window and powerful fuel-injected engine, this Corvette represents the pinnacle of 1960s American sports car engineering.
The heart of this classic Corvette is a 327ci L84 V8 engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Known for its high performance, the L84 engine features Rochester mechanical fuel injection and a high-lift camshaft, allowing it to produce a factory-rated 360 horsepower. This level of power made the Corvette a dominant force on both the street and the track during its heyday. The engine has been meticulously maintained, with an overhaul of the rear end performed in 2012, ensuring it’s in excellent working condition.
The car’s fiberglass body is finished in a vibrant shade of red, a color that was applied during its refurbishment in 2007. Its exterior design remains true to the original, featuring flip-up headlamps, fender vents, quad tail lamps, chrome bumperettes, and dual exhaust tips integrated into the rear valance. The 15-inch turbine-style wheels with three-eared knock-off spinners are mounted on 215/70 Cooper Trendsetter SE tires, giving it a classic yet sporty look.
Inside, the cabin is a retro enthusiast’s dream. Black vinyl bucket seats, color-coordinated door panels, and carpets create a sleek, period-correct interior. Additional features include a woodgrain-rimmed steering wheel, a push-button radio, and an analog clock. The dashboard is equipped with a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, keeping drivers informed of the car’s performance at all times.
This 1963 Corvette also comes with fully independent suspension, offering superior handling for its era. Power steering and four-wheel drum brakes provide a smooth and controlled driving experience, making it not only a collector’s piece but also a car that’s a pleasure to drive.
Offered with a clean Oregon title, this rare Corvette has only 36,000 miles on the odometer, with just 50 miles added by its current owner. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this Corvette split-window coupe is an exceptional example of American automotive history, ready to be cherished by its next owner.
