The second-generation Corvette Sting Ray features a sexy aerodynamic design by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda. The Coupe is immediately recognizable by virtue of its split rear window, which appeared only on 1963 models. Of the four 327-cid V-8 engines available, the top 360 horsepower L84 option with Rochester “Ramjet” mechanical fuel-injection propelled the Corvette to 60 mph in less than six seconds – performance that remains exhilarating even today.

Handling took a quantum leap forward as well, thanks to a thoroughly redesigned chassis, which included the first use of a four-wheel independent suspension on a Corvette, developed by Corvette Engineering Chief Zora Arkus-Duntov. The all-new Corvette generated immediate acclaim, with Motor Trend testers remarking, “We thought the old model cornered darn well, but there’s no comparing it to this new one.” Road & Track stated that the 1963 Corvette “will know few peers.”

This fuel-injected Corvette has undergone a seven-year, frame-off, "nuts-and-bolts" restoration, and is a great example of the introductory year of the legendary Sting Ray. The Corvette is reported to be “thoroughly documented” and restored with the correct components throughout. The ‘fuelie’ is richly presented in Tuxedo Black with red interior, with sporty factory hubcaps. A manual transmission is mated to the powerful engine. A must-have for any serious Corvette collection and quite rare as one of 2,610 original examples; this fuel-injected 1963 Sting Ray represents a true Corvette milestone.
