This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a replacement 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in Daytona Blue over dark blue vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a body-color removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, power steering, an aluminum radiator, and 15? turbine-style wheels with three-eared knock-off spinners as well as an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and concealed headlights. This C2 Corvette convertible was purchased by the current owner in 2018 and is now offered on dealer consignment with and a clean California title.

The fiberglass body is finished in Daytona Blue (916) and features a removable hardtop and a white convertible soft top as well as flip-up headlamps, fender vents, quad taillamps, split chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust tips that exit through the rear valance. Paint cracks, chips, and scuffs are pictured in the gallery below along with touched up damage at the rear edge of each door.

The 15? turbine-style wheels wear three-eared knock-off spinners and are mounted with 215/70 Firestone Affinity Touring tires. The independent suspension utilizes upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel drums.

The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in dark blue vinyl as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Appointments include a heater, an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, embroidered floor mats, and lap belts.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.

The replacement 327ci V8 is topped with a four-barrel carburetor and accented by chrome air-cleaner and ignition covers. An aftermarket aluminum radiator has been installed, and the seller notes the oil has been recently changed. The engine casting number and identification pad stamping are pictured in the gallery below.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
