A restored, numbers-matching 1963 Corvette with a 327/300HP engine and 4-speed heads to auction after 25 years of single ownership.
A striking 1963 Chevrolet Corvette coupe, boasting a numbers-matching drivetrain and a documented 25-year single ownership history, is slated to cross the auction block on Saturday, May 31, 2025.
Finished in factory-correct Riverside Red with a black interior, the car features the desirable L75 327 cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 300 horsepower, paired with an M20 4-speed manual transmission. Additional options include power steering, Positraction rear axle, and classic whitewall tires—completing a well-balanced mix of drivability and originality.
Restored in 2001, the Corvette has been sparingly driven since, logging just 5,000 miles over the past two decades. Its long-term caretaker reportedly maintained the vehicle with a focus on preservation, keeping it garage-kept and show-ready while allowing for occasional enjoyment on the road.
The 1963 model year holds particular significance for Corvette enthusiasts, marking the debut of the second-generation (C2) design and the iconic “Sting Ray” name. Known for its dramatic styling, hidden headlights, and independent rear suspension, the ’63 Corvette is widely regarded as a milestone in American sports car history.
While the listing does not mention the presence of the rare split rear window—unique to the 1963 model—it highlights the car’s overall condition, originality, and desirable equipment package as key selling points.
Scheduled to run during the Saturday auction lineup, this restored C2 represents an ideal balance of performance, period-correct features, and investment-grade preservation—ready to turn heads on the road or the concours lawn.
