"This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window coupe underwent refurbishment work in 2015 that included a repaint in red along with retrimming the seats in black vinyl and installing a three-speed automatic transmission. Powered by a numbers matching 327ci L75 V8, the car is additionally equipped with concealed headlights, turbine-style center-lock wheels, and aftermarket air conditioning. This C2 split-window coupe was acquired out of Arizona by the previous owner in 2021 and is now offered with owner's and shop manuals and a clean Kansas title.
The fiberglass body was finished at the factory in Daytona Blue (916) and was repainted red under previous ownership. Features include flip-up headlamps, fender vents, ribbed aluminum rocker-panel moldings, quad tail lamps, chrome bumperettes, and dual exhaust tips that exit through the rear valance.The 15? turbine-style wheels are fitted with three-eared knock-off spinners and mounted with 215/75 Deluxe Classic LX whitewall tires.
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. The steering is unassisted, as are the four-wheel drum brakes.The cabin features bucket seats that have been reupholstered in black vinyl along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include aftermarket air conditioning, an analog clock, lap belts, and a vertically mounted Delco AM radio, the latter of which is inoperative.The three-spoke steering wheel fronts an inoperative 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline in addition to gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 91k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.The 327ci L75 V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor for a factory rating of 300 horsepower. Engine stamp 105749 matches the last six digits of the chassis number plate mounted under the glovebox. The SD suffix corresponds with a 300-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with an automatic transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement three-speed automatic transmission said to have been installed in 2015.

The Kansas title carries an ""Antique"" brand and lists the VIN with a '5' in place of the 'S' as the sixth character.
