This is a beautiful 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, numbers-matching 340 horse 327 cubic inch V8, 4 speed manual with a Hurst shifter and chambered exhaust. This Corvette has had only two owners over the last thirty years or so, and it most recent owner held on to her for more than fifteen of those. During this time, he kept the most meticulous records I've ever seen. Repairs were catalogued by date and "type" and a column of itemized costs sits next to a record of the running total of all expenses from Day 1. Gasoline fill-ups, including odometer readings, gallons added and estimated mpg were also recorded. The original newspaper ad from which he purchased the car is there too! Its really remarkable and is a great thing to see if you truly love classic cars. I've done some things to the car as well -- tires, brake servicing, etc. -- and I've kept all the receipts so that the trend of record-keeping remains intact, though perhaps diminished slightly in comprehensiveness. As you can see from the photos, this appears to be a well-maintained, largely unrestored, driver's Corvette. Its been used as intended, for pure driving enjoyment and excitement, with the appreciation of owning America's greatest sports car. I spent about a month running around in this beautiful car and its just awesome. It runs and drives like a road rocket, sounds great, and it carries with it a strong sense of those who have been its caretakers over the decades. We all get a little misty-eyed and romantic when we want a classic car, so I've added than 180 photos, use this link to my flickr page. Or better yet, come and check it out in person: https://www.flickr.com/photos/97286492@N06/albums/72157671198820776/with/28316610662/ This car comes with the two tops, both of which are in nice shape, the correct '63 hubcaps, and loads of maintenance, ownership and repair records. And being that this is a 50+ year old car, of course there's no warranty whatsoever, its being sold "as is, where is". I can help you find a shipper and being that I'm in no way whatsoever a Corvette expert, make sure you satisfy yourself that this is the car for you before making an offer. I can provide a more detailed breakdown of the work that's been done on it over the years upon request.
