1963 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale in Bellevue , 2146380069 Tweet

*1963 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Convertible*1963 marked the beginning of a shift for the Corvette with an independent suspension and an appealing selection of engines GM had set its sights on turning its sports car from a great looking tourer into a legitimate performance vehicle. Paired with one of the most striking designs to ever grace a car it is no surprise that the C2 Corvette was a near instant classic. With reasonable performance from the factory it stands as a perfect basis to build an even better performer today with a great look and modern underpinnings.This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has received the full custom treatment - yet you cant really tell from the exterior. Finished in Riverside Red with a high-end tan convertible top the only thing that really gives away what sits under the car is a set of Schott Mach V wheels sized 18-inches in front and 20-inches at the rear. These look great and are required to fit the sizable Wilwood disc brakes on the car with 6 piston calipers in front and 4 piston calipers at the rear. What allows these brakes to be fitted is the Art Morrison G2 chassis that the car sits on. This custom built retrofit features all new suspension geometries with adjustable coilovers at all four corners and fully powder coated components. The result is a car with a suspension that can be set up for performance driving while still being comfortable on the road.The interior of the car has been entirely reupholstered in high-quality tan leather which along with the convertible top was installed by C&L Interiors of Tempe AZ. Open the door - with double-stitched diamond quilted inserts - and you are met by a 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel that frames original-look modern gauges by Dakota Digital. The leather wrapped dashboard houses a clock and upgraded stereo head unit that powers 4 speakers and a 400 watt amplifier w/sub woofer along with controls for a Vintage Air A/C system.Under the hood sits a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 with electronic fuel injection and coil-on-plug ignition. Producing 480 horsepower this car puts out nearly double the horsepower of the most powerful Corvette in 1963 and when paired with a Tremec T56 Super Magnum 6-speed manual transmission does a much better job of putting that power down. The addition of the more powerful motor also included adding a DeWitts upgraded radiator with dual electric fans a Holley fuel pump and custom drive shaft.If youre an enthusiast who loves the classic look of the C2 Corvette but desires a bit more in the performance department - this car is the one for you. With nearly all the modern convenience features you want paired with a powerful fuel injected V8 this car could serve daily driver duties when weather permits or make a great road trip car that would eat up the miles without complaint.*Key Features* * Art Morrison G2 Chassis * Independent Front/Rear Suspension * 4-Wheel Adjustable Coilover Suspension * Powder Coated Components * 6.2-Liter LS3 V8 * 480 Horsepower * Serpentine Belt System * Fuel Injected * Tremec T56 Super Magnum 6-Speed Manual * 4-Wheel Wilwood Disc Brakes * Power Assist * 6-Piston Front/4-Piston Rear * 14-Inch Discs * Detroit Speed Headlight Motors * Dakota Digital Gauges * VIntage Air A/C * DeWitts C2 Radiator * Dual Electric Fans * Retro Stereo * 4-Speakers * 400 Watt Amp * Sub Woofer * Schott Mach V Wheels * 18-Inch Front/20-Inch RearFor more information on this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Convertible or any of our High-Performance Luxury Exotic Classic and Special Interest cars always in stock contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40 000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury Exotic High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
