Riverside Red 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible with Numbers-Matching 327
About this vehicle
1963 stands apart in Corvette lore. That was the year GM scrapped everything and started over — new chassis, independent rear suspension, bodywork shaped under Bill Mitchell's watch — and the Sting Ray arrived as something genuinely different, not just a refresh. This convertible carries Riverside Red over a black vinyl interior, the original 327ci V8 paired with its factory 4-speed manual, and roughly 25 years under a single owner's care.
The fiberglass body has had one repaint in correct Riverside Red and is described as being in exceptional overall condition. Concealed headlights, twin hood vents, chrome bumpers and rocker trim, a driver's-side mirror, and Corvette badging all present well. Black convertible soft top matches cleanly. Fifteen-inch body-colored steel wheels wear full-size bright covers with simulated knock-off-style centers and crossed-flags emblems, with Michelin 205/75R15 all-season tires at all four corners — serviceable, though the seller acknowledges they're older.
Inside, the twin-cowl dashboard is exactly what you'd expect from a C2: driver-focused, purposeful. The seller rates it excellent. Bucket seats, lap belts, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a floor-mounted shifter with a chrome lever and reverse lockout collar fill out the cockpit, and an AM/FM cassette stereo has been added at some point. Seats, door panels, gauges, and interior trim are all reported in excellent condition.
The original numbers-matching 327ci V8 sits under the hood, factory-rated at 250 HP with a four-barrel carburetor, driving through the original 4-speed manual. Engine runs and performs well per the seller; clutch and gearbox operate properly too. Over 25 years of ownership, maintenance has been handled as needed, and no immediate service is reported outstanding.
A spare tire and clean title are included in the sale.
