This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window coupe is powered by a 327ci L76 V8 linked with a Muncie M20 four-speed close-ratio manual transmission and a Positraction differential. The car underwent a body-off refurbishment in 1988 that involved a repaint in Silver Blue. It features flip-up headlamps and quad tail lamps along with reproduction 15″ turbine-style knock-off wheels. Inside, the bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl and accompanied by a Delco AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and a split-spoke steering wheel.
The 327ci L76 V8 was fitted from the factory with a single Carter four-barrel carburetor and a high-lift camshaft for a factory rating of 340 horsepower. The engine stamping includes sequence 3120127, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. The RE suffix corresponds with a 340-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie M20 four-speed close-ratio manual transmission and an optional Positraction differential. The frame have been sandblasted and repainted black as part of the 1988 refurbishment, and the underside of the car was cleaned in 2024 in preparation for the sale.
The fiberglass body left the factory finished in Silver Blue (912) and was removed from the frame and repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed in 1988. The fiberglass underbody panels were also refinished at that time. The car features flip-up headlamps, quad tail lamps, fender vents, chrome bumperettes, and dual exhaust tips that exit through the rear valance.
The reproduction 15″ turbine-style wheels were produced by Western Wheel Corporation and wear three-eared knock-off spinners. Maxxis MA-1 M+S tires measuring 215/70 are mounted at all four corners . The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums, which were serviced in preparation for sale.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a Delco AM/FM radio, an analog clock, a heater, and lap belts.
The split-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles.
