1963 Chevrolet Corvette

Chevrolet Corvette Coupe NCRS Top Flight Numbers Matching Saddle Leather Daytona Blue This stunning 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents one of the most desirable examples of early C2 production beautifully finished in its original Daytona Blue (916A) over Saddle Leather (898E) interior. Built on May 8, 1963 in St. Louis, Missouri, this car is confirmed to retain all correct numbers and date-coded components, verified by CCAS, LLC (Al Grenning), and supported by NCRS documentation and factory shipping data records. Powered by its original 327/340 HP V8 (RE suffix) engine mated to an aluminum case Borg Warner close-ratio 4-speed (T10-7D) transmission and 3.55:1 Positraction rear axle, this Corvette delivers the performance and sound that defined the Sting Rays reputation. Only 613 Corvettes were built in 1963 with this specific 3.55 rear-end ratio, and only 1,114 examples were finished with Saddle Leather making this a very rare configuration. Every key casting and date aligns perfectly with the cars build timeline: Engine Block: #3782870 (D63) Cast April 6, 1963 Engine Pad: F0419RE Flint Engine Plant, April 19, 1963 Cylinder Heads: #3782461 Intake Manifold: #3794129 Aluminum Exhaust Manifolds: L/R #3797901 / #3797902 Alternator: #1100628 (2B3 Feb 2, 1963) Distributor: #1111024 The car has excellent bones and originality throughout, with one older repaint that presents well. The interior remains in very nice condition, showing authenticity consistent with a well-preserved, properly maintained Corvette. This example earned the prestigious NCRS Top Flight Award in Meriden, Connecticut (April 21, 2002) a testament to its authenticity, correctness, and quality of restoration.
