The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel-Injected Split-Window Coupe could race from zero-to-sixty mph in a mere 5.9 seconds. Selling at just $4,252 for the base coupe, it cost over a thousand dollars less than the Jaguar E-Type which was selling at $5,895. The Corvette rode on an all-independent suspension designed by Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov. The base Corvette had 250 horsepower; a 300, 340, and 360 horsepower version was also available.
For 1963, there were 21,500 Corvette Sting Rays produced nearly half were convertibles and the others were the split-window coupe. Of this, around 2,610 were given the 360 horsepower fuel-injected motor.
This Split-Window Coupe is finished in black paint with a black vinyl interior. It has the most powerful engine available, the 360 horsepower L84 with mechanical fuel injection at a cost of $430.40. There is a four-speed manual transmission, which cost an additional $188.30. The Posi-Traction rear axle added an additional $43.05. Other options ordered with this vehicle included a wood-grain plastic steering wheel, power steering and AM/FM radio. The final price was a staggering $5,179.60.
The current owner purchased this car from the Nicolas Cage collection. It has been sympathetically and comprehensively restored and traveled just 436 miles since its completion.
In 2008, this Chevy Corvette was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company Auction held in Pebble Beach, Ca. It was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $130,000. A high bid of $110,000, including the buyer's premium, was enough to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. The lot was sold.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2009
