The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray stands as one of the most iconic American designs ever conceived, largely thanks to its distinctive "Split Window" coupe body. Penned by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda, this first-year C2 Corvette was a radical departure from its C1 predecessor, featuring an entirely new chassis designed by Zora Arkus-Duntov. The split rear window, a design flourish Mitchell insisted upon, was a one-year-only feature, making the 1963 coupe particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its revolutionary independent rear suspension and potent small-block V8 engines cemented its place as a genuine sports car capable of challenging European rivals. This particular 1963 Split Window Corvette is a testament to the enduring appeal and potential of these legendary machines. Showing just 1,111 miles, it represents a unique opportunity for a discerning enthusiast to complete a meticulously started project. The foundation is an Art Morrison chassis, a name synonymous with high-performance aftermarket engineering, promising a modern handling and ride experience far beyond the factory specification. While the engine and transmission details are yet to be determined, the Art Morrison platform is designed to accommodate a wide range of powerful drivetrains, offering the next owner a blank canvas to create their ultimate Corvette. This is a rare chance to acquire a piece of automotive history with a thoroughly modern performance backbone, awaiting its final transformation.
