The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window coupe is one of the most beloved shapes in American automotive history, and a superb example is headed to the GAA Classic Car Auction, July 23-25 at The Palace. Finished in Silver over a black interior, this rotisserie-restored Corvette pairs its iconic split rear glass with genuine fuel-injected performance.
Under the hood sits the highly desirable factory 360-horsepower fuel-injected 327 cubic-inch V8, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end for genuine period performance. The car has undergone a correct frame-off rotisserie restoration and still includes creature comforts like power windows, making it as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at.

The Sting Ray’s split rear window remained a one-year-only feature, dropped after 1963 due to rear visibility concerns, which makes this coupe instantly recognizable and highly sought after among Corvette collectors and enthusiasts alike. Finished in classic Silver over a black interior, the color combination lets the car’s sharp, Larry Shinoda-inspired lines take center stage, from the hidden headlights to the distinctive boat-tail rear end. It’s a shape that defined a generation of American sports cars and still turns heads at every show and auction it attends.
Beneath that iconic body sits a numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch small-block, factory-rated at 360 horsepower thanks to Rochester mechanical fuel injection, a genuine Fuelie in period-correct form. Paired with a close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end, this Corvette was built for spirited driving as much as for showing. A correct frame-off rotisserie restoration means the car presents beautifully today while retaining the details and character that matter most to judges, appraisers, and collectors alike.
Power windows add a rare touch of luxury to an otherwise track-ready package, a factory option not often found on fuel-injected Corvettes of this era. For collectors seeking a correct, well-documented example of America’s original sports car, this Split-Window coupe checks every box. It will cross the block at the GAA Classic Car Auction at The Palace this July 23-25, offering a rare chance to add one of the most collectible Corvettes ever built to a serious collection. With genuine documentation, a correct drivetrain, and a striking color combination, it’s the kind of Split-Window that anchors a world-class collection for decades to come.
