1963 Corvette Roadster for Sale

 

In 1963, Chevrolet produced 21,513 of the first year “Stingray” Corvettes. Out of those produced, 10919 were convertibles (roadster) or about 50.2%. The rare engine in 1963 was the much-desired Fuel Injected, 360 HP, 327 C.I. About 12% of the total cars produced had this engine. Second was the base 327 with 250 HP. About 18% of the total cars produced had this engine. The remaining 70% of Corvettes had either a 300 HP or 340 HP 327 C.I. engines.

 

Out of all the Corvettes produced in 1963, only 3475 were painted Daytona Blue or about 8%. When you consider the Daytona Blue paint with the rare 250 HP engine in the convertible model, only about 1.5% (or around 300) of the total Corvettes had this combination. Even less with dark blue interior.

 

I am offering this rare, original 250 HP, 4 speed with posi, Daytona Blue Corvette to qualified buyers. This Corvette has received numerous NCRS Top Flight Awards and was the first Corvette from Colorado to win the NCRS Founders Award. Many say, “numbers matching”. But that does not always mean “original”. This Corvette is both. There is so much of the car that is original, it is too lengthy to mention. For example, besides the engine, it still has the original inspection marks on the tie rod ends. The original daily build number is still visible on the fiberglass. It has original T3 headlights and the list goes on. Every part of the car is in working order, including the original clock. I encourage buyers to contact me for additional information.

 

Some say for a car to be a “survivor”, it must have 50% of the original parts. If this is true, this Corvette is a truly a survivor. I have seen cars of this quality sell for more than $80,000 without buyers commision. So, if you know Corvettes or if your looking for a great investment that can be driven and enjoyed, this very rare, un-restored original car may be just what you are looking for.

  

The car will only be shown by appointment. Only a Certified check or cash will be accepted. A non-refundable certified check or cash deposit of $1500 will be required. The buyer will pay all taxes, shipping and any others fees associated with this transaction.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
