Offered here is a fine example of the 1963 Stingray convertible. Owned since July, 2003 this Corvette convertible (with its matching removable hard top) has been completely restored in its original color (Saddle Tan Metallic, 932A) over a period of years, completed in 2006. Restoration included complete body & paint, the original engine rebuild, overhaul of the T10 transmission and differential, half shafts & u-joints, re-chroming and polishing of bumpers & trim, and. new white convertible top, frame and latches. Many other parts were either rebuilt or replaced, e.g., the fuel tank, springs, spindles, brakes, bushings, headlight motors, steering box, harmonic balancer, clutch & flywheel, door panels, seat covers, seat belts, seat hinges, carpet set, windshield, and much more. Electronic ignition has been added.
The four barrel Carter AFB carburetor was completely restored & rebuilt in March, 2017.
An August, 2022 service included a new battery, voltage regulator, fuel line kit, brake fluid flush, and a complete inspection. Everything works as it should, including its optional Wonderbar radio and the clock.
The numbers on this car indicate that it was built in GMs St. Louis plant, as the 3,172nd 1963 model, in the original and current body color. The engine matches the serial number, and since all other major components are rebuilt originals, and with the extensive records and receipts, this would seem to be a desirable matching numbers car.
The owners manual, other books, and detailed records and receipts are included, as is a car cover. The car shows no smoke on cold start, and the engine runs and idles well. Its new owner can proudly show and enjoy driving this classic, beautiful 63 Stingray.
