1963 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
1963 was the debut year of the Corvette Sting Ray, the first Corvette to be offered as both a coupe and a roadster. This car is known for its futuristic design, sleek stying, and split rear window. The split rear window was panned by critics, and as a result, many owners replaced it with a single window offered by Chevrolet, which was standard equipment for the next model year.
The 1963 remains one of the more popular models of the Corvette and still retails for an excellent price. Although offered with basically the same engines as the 1962 version, the beauty of the exterior has turned this car into a true collectors' item.
On a scale of 1-10 for collectability, one specialist gives the split-window Corvette a 10, and if he were to sell a high-quality version in an auction, he wouldn't let it go for less than $150,000.

This was and still is a very nice car, RARE Corvette and a car that people would ask me why I would drive the car on a regular basis, but the way I look at it is if you have a nice old car enjoy it, and to do that you MUST drive it. Apr 29, 2013

I purchased this car because firstly I loved the look, but on doing research I found it was quite rare. It has fantastic power and also good fuel mileage. It is also much fun to drive. Maintenance costs are no more than any other car.Jun 19, 2012

A car I always wanted to own & cross off my bucket-list. Turns heads, starts conversations & draws a crowd wherever I drive it. Turning it on & bringing that tach to 3/4 redline is a symphony of music that only a L76-340hp 327 can deliver.Oct 24, 2011

It's a 1963 Corvette, built from iron and fiberglass.
It's got a 340 hp, small block 327 v8. Gets abismal gas
mileage. It's hot and loud. It rattles and creaks. But its
a head turner and thats all that matters.

Found in a barn in 1996. Been sitting since 1983. Left to me by my dad when he passed away in 2002. Have been saving money to perform restoration. Have money now...but not time with everything else going on in my life.May 19, 2008

Awesome performance. Looks and drives like nothing ever built in the states. The split window really sets it apart but made it rough seeing the red lights of the police stopping me to look at it. I have owned this car for almost 40 years and have no plans of ever selling it.Apr 08, 2008

How do you remove the battery from a 63 vette
I have lifted the expansion tank and gotten the battery on its end, but it doesn't seem to have sufficient room to lift it out
