1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible — Numbers Matching 327/340hp, Muncie 4-Speed, Silver Blue Why This Car Is Special The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray is one of the most significant automobiles in American history, and that statement is not an exaggeration. The C2 generation — which debuted in 1963 — represented a complete reinvention of the Corvette. For the first time, the car received an independent rear suspension, a true chassis redesign, and coachwork drawn from Bill Mitchell's 1959 Stingray racer. The result was a car that could compete with European sports cars on both aesthetic and engineering terms. Road and Track called it the most important American car of its era. That reputation has only grown in the decades since. Within the C2 lineup, the 1963 model year holds a particularly strong position among collectors. It was the first year of the generation, and the convertible was the only body style available before the iconic split-window coupe joined the lineup. Chevrolet built 10,919 convertibles for 1963, compared to 10,594 coupes — making them closely matched in production numbers but very different in character. The convertible offers the open-air driving experience that most buyers in 1963 preferred, and it remains highly sought after today. This specific car is a numbers-matching 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible finished in Silver Blue over a black vinyl interior. It carries the 327 cubic inch small block V8 rated at 340 horsepower — the second-highest naturally aspirated output available that year, topped only by the fuel-injected 360hp version. Backed by a Muncie close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, this is a genuine performance car from the factory, not a base model that was optioned up later. The combination of correct engine, correct transmission, and a clean undercarriage makes this a credible candidate for long-term collecting as well as regular driving.
