This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 327ci V8 paired to a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in silver over black leather.
The numbers-matching 327ci V8 was rebuilt during the refurbishment.
Work included porting the cylinder heads, shot-peening the connecting rods, installing forged 11:1 compression ratio pistons and a Comp Cams hydraulic camshaft, and replacing the intake manifold and carburetor.
Features include an MSD ignition coil, a chrome air cleaner housing, and a chrome fan shroud.
A replacement fuel tank, fuel lines, and exhaust system with Borla stainless steel mufflers were also installed during the refurbishment, and service in preparation for the sale included a timing adjustment, air filter replacement, and fluid changes.
The engine pad stamping contains the sequence 105350, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s chassis number.
The RD suffix indicates a 327ci L75 V8 rated at 300 horsepower when new.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
The rear end was rebuilt with a limited-slip differential and 3.90:1 gears.
The clutch was also replaced during the refurbishment.
The body was separated from the frame and repainted in the factory Sebring Silver.
Features include a split rear window, flip-up headlights, hood louvers, and chrome bumpers.
Work during the refurbishment included refinishing the bumpers, polishing the trim, and replacing the glass, badges, hood grilles, door handles, light bezels, and wiring harness.
A ceramic coating was applied to the paint last month.
Steel 15″ wheels wear spinner-style covers and are wrapped in 215/70 BFGoodrich Control T/A whitewall tires.
A composite mono-leaf transverse rear spring, Bilstein shocks, adjustable rear control arms, front disc brakes, and replacement brake lines were fitted during the refurbishment.
A front-end alignment and a parking brake adjustment were performed in preparation for the sale.
The low-back bucket seats, headliner, and console cover were reupholstered in black leather and the carpets were replaced during the refurbishment.
Interior features include power windows, crank vent windows, Chevrolet-logo floor mats, a clock, and a vertically mounted Delco AM radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, amperage, and oil pressure.
The five-digit odometer shows 54k miles, total mileage is unknown.
