About this car

This is a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, the first year of the C2 generation and the only year of the split rear window on the coupe. This one is the convertible, which makes it a more usable proposition for open-air driving. It is finished in Riverside Red.

Power comes from the 327 cubic inch (5.3-litre) V8 rated at 300 hp, paired with the M20 four-speed manual gearbox. The car has the G81 Positraction limited-slip differential and P48 cast aluminium knock-off wheels with polished covers. A removable hardtop is included.

The car was imported to the UK in 1991 and shows 33,873 miles. It has an extensive service history, and recent work includes new belts and a new water pump.
