Exterior

The Corvette’s iconic fiberglass body shines in a freshly applied red finish from 2023. The recent refinishing removed previously installed flared rear fenders, restoring a sleek and original profile, complemented by replacement emblems. Notable exterior elements include a removable hardtop, black convertible soft top, distinctive L88-style hood, flip-up headlights, functional fender vents, quad tail lamps, chrome bumperettes, aftermarket front turn signals, and dual rear exhaust tips integrated into the valance. Minor imperfections are documented in a detailed video walkthrough.

Mounted on 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, the car retains its pioneering C2 chassis with fully independent suspension—upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link rear setup with transverse leaf spring.

Mechanical

The big-block V8, installed before the current ownership, benefits from modern enhancements including Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, significantly improving performance and reliability. Cooling is managed by a DeWitts aluminum radiator equipped with dual electric fans. Electrical upgrades include a high-output 150-amp alternator, HEI distributor, MSD plug wires, and a new wiring harness. A replacement fuel tank was also recently installed.

The drivetrain features a four-speed manual transmission paired with a Positraction limited-slip rear differential with 3.70:1 gearing, installed mid-2023. Braking duties are handled by aftermarket power-assisted front disc brakes.

Interior

Inside, the black leather upholstery was refreshed prior to current ownership, and door panels have been replaced recently. The dashboard presents a classic three-spoke steering wheel framing a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. Both tachometer and speedometer were rebuilt in 2023. The radio and air conditioning systems are currently not operational.

Summary

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a beautifully refreshed classic that expertly balances vintage musclecar charm with thoughtful, modern mechanical upgrades. With its powerful big-block V8 enhanced by EFI, smooth manual gearbox, updated suspension, and brakes, it offers both head-turning style and rewarding performance. The car comes complete with a removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top, making it equally at home cruising on sunny days or showcased at events. Detailed photos and a video highlight the superb refinishing work and note minor flaws, ensuring full transparency.
