Finished in a striking Riverside Red, this Corvette commands attention whether parked or in motion.

The interior is finished in black vinyl and retains the timeless dual-cockpit layout that defines early Sting Rays. Bucket seats are firm and supportive, while the wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel sits proudly before a full complement of factory-style gauges. The dash features brushed aluminum accents and the signature Corvette dual-pod design that frames the tachometer and speedometer. A 4-speed manual shifter anchors the center console, giving full control over the 327s powerband. Chrome details, textured door panels, and tight black carpeting all reflect a high-quality restoration that remains faithful to factory form. The result is a driver-focused cockpit that perfectly balances vintage character with precision craftsmanship. Powering this 63 Corvette is the HC-suffix 327 cubic-inch small-block V8, known for its crisp throttle response and lively mid-range power.
