Buyer’s notes

About the Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray

The second-generation Corvette arrived for 1963 as the Sting Ray, with hidden headlamps and, for the first time, a coupé alongside the convertible. The 1963 coupé’s split rear window lasted only that one model year, which is why it is the version collectors seek most.

What moves the price

  • Body and year: the one-year 1963 split-window coupé is the most sought-after version.
  • Engine: matching numbers, confirmed by the stampings.
  • Originality against the trim tag, and the quality of any restoration.

Before you buy, check

  • The engine and chassis numbers against the trim tag and records.
  • The steel structure under the glassfibre body for corrosion.
  • Whether a coupé’s split rear window is original or a later conversion.
