1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split Window Coupé

30837S116280roadUnited States
Colour
Light blue metallic

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split Window Coupé is a first-year example of the iconic C2 generation, distinguished by its one-season-only divided rear window — a feature deleted after 1963 that now marks these cars as among the most sought-after Corvette variants. Finished in light blue metallic over a black interior and fitted with a four-speed manual gearbox, the car was brought from the United States to Sweden in 2013. The engine block is a period-correct CE-prefix replacement unit, and the original transmission type is unconfirmed.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
