1963 Corvette Stingray Split Window on 2040-cars
Humble, Texas, United States
Engine:327
Drive Type: 4 speed
Model: Corvette
Mileage: 13,000
Trim: coupe
This is my fathers corvette. He bought it used from a dealer in 1964.Car was original Sebring silver with black vinyl interior. I believe it came with a base level engine, my father cannot remember. My mother did not know the tin box she threw away had all the documentation on the car. What a shame! The car does not have the original engine, it was not with the car when my father got it. The car has a little over 13,000 original miles, it was rarely ever driven. In 1965 my father was drafted into the army, after customizing the rear fenders by flaring them, and he cut the front fenders to put exhaust out of them. While he was away my uncle drove the car and got into a minor front end accident that broke off the remaining fiberglass. The frame was not damaged. I have mostly all trim, windows, and headlight components. I am missing 2 corner trim pieces for the back windows.
This car has been in the family 49 years, my father never touched it again after he came back home from the army when he saw it was crashed. He planned to give me the car so we could build it together, but his health is not making that possible. I have no desire to build this car without him. The car was inspected by a professional restoration shop here in Houston and I was told that the bird cage may have to be completely removed for rust repair. For the sake of disclosure please bid with this in mind and assume it will have to be removed during the restoration process. I have many original fiberglass panels and headlight assemblies as pictured.
I have pictures of the car throughout the stages of it sitting the last 40 years if you would like to see them Id be happy to share. This car need to go to someone that can appreciate it more than we can. Thanks for looking.
I HAVE CLEAR TRANSFERABLE NY REGISTRATION IN MY NAME. (Pre 1973 vehicles in NY do not have titles, only transferable registration.)

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where 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.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
