Description
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette is a St. Louis-built coupe finished in Riverside Red over Saddle leather and powered by a fuel-injected 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. It received a body-off refurbishment in the early 1980s, and work included a repaint, an interior refresh, a rebuild of the powertrain, and more. Recent maintenance has consisted of fluid changes, a brake inspection, and a reseal of the Rochester fuel injection unit. Details include split bumpers, cast rocker accents, and decorative vents on the rear pillars. Turbine-style wheels feature three-eared knock-off spinners and wear Michelin radial tires. The interior features Saddle leather (898A) seating and a color-keyed dashboard, console, and carpeting, and was refreshed during the work in the 1980s. Accessories include powered windows as well as a vertically mounted Delco AM radio. Instrumentation consists of a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and supplementary gauges. Maintenance in June 2020 included fluid changes, a brake inspection, and a reseal of the fuel injection unit.
