This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was refurbished in 2022 according to the seller, who acquired it that year.

Power is provided by a rebuilt 327ci V8 linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential, and an aluminum radiator is installed along with an electric cooling fan and coated exhaust headers. The front of the body has been modified with shaved headlight doors and an aftermarket grille with LED headlamps, and each wheel-arch flare has been extended. The car is also equipped with a white soft top and a white removable hardtop as well as a Custom Autosound radio, a tilting steering column, a dual exhaust system, and 15 Rally wheels.

The fiberglass body was originally finished in blue and was refinished in black in 2022, according to the previous owner. The wheel arches were flared, front bumpers were removed, the headlight doors were shaved, and an aftermarket grille with LED headlamps were added along with silver stripes on the right-front fender. Additional features include a white removable hardtop and a white convertible soft top as well as quad tail lamps, chrome rear bumpers, and dual exhaust tips that exit through the rear valance. A 1964-specification hood is installed, and the removed 1963 hood will accompany the car. Silver-finished 15 Rally wheels are mounted with 215/60 Kelly Charger tires. The C2 features fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled four-wheel drums. The seller notes the steering gear box was replaced under current ownership, and aftermarket parking brake cables were installed. The re-trimmed cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a tilting steering column, a Custom Autosound digital radio, an analog clock, and lap belts. The previous owner notes the replacement 327ci V8 was rebuilt in 2022, and it features a four-barrel carburetor and finned valve covers.
