This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette is said to have remained with a single family from the 1970s until the seller’s acquisition in 2025, and it was modified as a roadster in a circa 2001 project. Work at that time included shortening the back end of the body, building a one-piece hood/nose, adding side slats, and lowering the windshield, and the body was refinished in blue with a white removable soft top. Power comes from a 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and additional modifications include front disc brakes, fixed headlights, a cross-handle shifter, an Alpine stereo head unit, a Sun Tach tachometer, an aluminum radiator, a Street Demon carburetor, and long-tube headers with side-exit exhaust pipes. This modified C2 is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The fiberglass body has been shortened and modified with a one-piece hood/nose, side slats, and the removal of door handles. It further features fixed headlights, a white removable soft top, aftermarket taillights, side-exit exhaust pipes, a shortened windshield, and dual mirrors.
Black steel 15″ wheels with machined rims and chrome hubcaps are mounted with 275/60 Dayton Daytona SR tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs up front and drums out back.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, and additional equipment includes blue shag carpet, a cross-handle shifter, a fire extinguisher, an Alpine stereo head unit, and speakers in the door panels.
The wood-rimmed 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. A Sun Tach 8k-rpm tachometer is mounted in the clock location. The switch panel to the right of the steering column contains switches for the fan and the rear cargo light in addition to other unused switches. The five-digit odometer is inoperative and shows zero miles, though approximately 500 were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
A 350ci GM V8 was installed in 1995 and is paired with a Howe aluminum radiator, long-tube headers, and a Street Demon 1900 625-cfm carburetor.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission.
