Rescue This Corvette Split-Window Project

The story isn’t new—man keeps car in garage for years, only to pass away before he could restore it. That’s the fate suffered by this 1963 Corvette, which has been sitting in a garage for 35 years. With the passing of the owner, his nephew is now looking to you to be the one to continue its restoration.

Of course, the 1963 Corvette is not just any Corvette—it’s the first of the C2s, and the only one of the series to have the split window. Standard was a mild 250-horse 327, but from there you could get 300, 340, or 360 horsepower with fuel injection. This one for sale is the 340-horse version, supposedly the same one that it was built with.

Currently in Wisconsin, the seller is asking $45,000. For not a lot more, you could buy a C7 Corvette instead, but it’s hard to top the class of a split-window Corvette.

  1. It’s sad that a corvette of this vintage, lies at a stalemate, halfway in hell and the other half in heaven. I just hope someone who truly wants to own this masterpiece is able to obtain it. Otherwise the Corvette parasites in the resale industry will get for 25 cents on the dollar, make a killing when finished and there-in inflate an already overblown prices marketplace.
