1963 Split-Window Corvette Sting Ray 

Beautiful!

Never saw it in gold! Pure class.

C2s are so beautiful

In 1969 I had a 64 coupe in this color with a saddle interior 327 300 horse four-speed 66 big block hood factory a/c power windows knock off wheels. I paid 1450 dollars. Those were the days when it was just another used car lol.

Beautiful 63!!!!! I ❤️ the split window, its the holy grail of all Corvettes. I own a 1964 Coupe and I love driving it.

My fave of all the Corvettes! 😍 ....For Christmas when I was a kid in the mid-1960s, my parents gave me a remote controlled Corvette Sting Ray toy car...I still have it and it still works. The car is detailed and in a dark navy color. Boy, I sure loved playing with it. You can make it go forward, backwards, or turn the front tires left or right, to make it go in circles. MY Mom used to get after me for chasing our cats with the car. They thought they could hide under my bed or sofa, but that Corvette flushed them out and the cats would come running out with their bushy tails...lol....On the remote, there is a horn button and a knob to turn the car's headlights on too. When I was little, I ruined a number of my toys by taking them apart to see how they worked, etc.. Glad I finally listened to my Mom who said to try and look after a few of them...and I sure looked after the Corvette. I may not ever be able to have the real thing, but to me, my toy one is priceless! : ) ....Loved the video and thanks to you and Ben for sharing this classic and story with us. I get those cool ICBC calendars every year here in Barriere, just north of Kamloops and love seeing all the classic automobiles and owner's stories in them for each month. I'm sure I saw that 'other' Corvette featured in the calendar a number of years ago. Hope Ben and the other owner do get together (if they haven't by now), for a photo shoot and story/video.....Cheers from the southern interior of beautiful British Columbia! : ) ....Will definitely sub and hit that bell too!😎👍

I believe I saw a 63 Z06 Tanker at Bloomington back in the 90's. Really like this color.

Great story. Hope the guy with the other 1963 reaches out to you. Be a shame if he (she) doesn't. Good Luck. SteveD

I saw one for sell on the side of the road listed for $10,000 in perfect condition about 40 years ago. I didn't have the money to buy it...but I really wanted it. So I asked my buddies to go in on it. We were all in college and poor...so nobody would.

My first ride in a Corvette was in one exactly like one! My dads friend got one in 1963 and came over to give him a ride! My sister and I said can we go too? Bob dais get in the back! My dad and I and my sister have owned one ever since! 👍🙋‍♂️🇺🇸🖖🏻

Beautiful 63, but they didn't have knock off wheels in 63

Beutiful car I hope you checked the frame they can be completely rusted out that old😅

I've never seen one in gold before. I really like it! Gives a very classy look to a bad ass car!

The gold is nice

Beautiful corvette, split windows are the most beautiful corvette built, this is the first time I've seen this color on a 63 corvette, love the color, hope you and your wife are happy with this beautiful car, like to know if I could have a picture of your car. Thanks for sharing this beautiful car.

Remember oil with zinc like shell rotella

Love the car, it's beautiful. And I actually knew a guy that had a 63 that cut out the centerpiece to make it look like a 64 because he wanted to make it look newer. I was mad at him for being so stupid because I like the way the split-window looked... LOL

Monday, April 11, 2022, 2:29 p.m. - First time visiting your YT channel, I was sent a reference to this specific episode because I like this Sting Ray car year. However, I want to say I was blown away not only by this car but by the awesome, I mean really excellent video photo shoot angles your videographer took, kudos to that person, probably the best car video I have seen out of the hundreds I viewed on YT.

I’ve seen pictures of one that’s sitting in a yard rotting away up there in B.C. I would love, LOVE to get my hands on it!!!!!! C2 coupes are my dream Corvette!!!!!! But I may never have enough money to get one! Such is the life of a struggling combat veteran.

Back in the day we drove them like we stole them.. no one ever thought they would be trailered.. Interesting that they built more convertibles than coupes...

Man Oh man that is Super cool 😎👍!!

You need to put the correct red painted valve covers on it IF it’s the 300 hp version ,as well as the correct factory style wiper blades. I have a ‘63 survivor ( untouched original). Whoever restored this car should’ve known that…what else is done wrong? Who knows

The '63 Corvette split window coupe is one of my favorite cars. My favorite color is Riverside Red, but I have to admit I like that color. I don't believe I've ever seen a '63 that color before. The '63 is a very unique car in many ways besides the rear window. It was almost a prototype. They changed hundreds of things on the '64 to make them easier to manufacture. This unfortunately makes the '63 almost impossible to get correct parts for, so many people use '64 parts on them.

Great story Ben!

good vid and great story

I like the color.

Really a beautiful car. I hope you can connect the two cars for a follow up video!

2023 All 1963 Style Corvette Split-Window Should Have Rear View Mirror Camera Screen Like the Land Rover Defender 110.

Always wanted one, and found one in 87 under an old oak tree and covered with a tarp. Stopped at the house next to it and the doors where open but no one home. Finally tracked down the owner and he said he had bought it to restore when he retired but hw would take 5k for it.. in those days, i barely made that much in 6 months.. needless to say, never got one.....

i wish he had more detail about the last owner.My sisters husband gave me a ride in ,what looks like his 63.His name was Brian Wright and used to own the Mai Tai restaurant in Duncan before it burned down.

350k+++.The sky's the limit!

About the color... The silver and gold colors...! Why are thay special in 63??? Thos colors were important and popular because they represented the space race... The race for the first man to walk on the moon!!! Its a good thing he restored it in this (Space aged color) The origionality increases its value and again It represents NASA the race to space🌙🌙🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just put a camera on the rear that would solve your problem., by the way it a nice car

Great video. I agree, the gold initially was a turn-off for me. Might it grow on me? Don't know.

I want a 63. To me that is the best corvette ever. Sell this to me please.

Just put a camara on the rear ., that would solve the problem., nice car.,

You don't like the color??? This car could have been James Bond ride in goldfinger enjoy your trip Mr b o n d in a 1963 gold corvette

Nice but not the holy Grail of Corvette's 60 or 61 Holy grail Years

This guys outfit. My god. Trying hard to outshine the vette.

I'm an old man now I'm 70 years old, Had A 63 split Window coup, Drove it like I stole it. Had to sell it when I got divorced💔

I had two 63 split windows. Pure junk. They should remake them.

Would have been even better if it was out being driven. Cheers

Nice, but not the RFI 360 HP. Drive the crap out of the car and stop being so paranoid about possibly getting a chip or scratch in the paint. If it were original paint then I could see your point.

If u like raw smelly cars than this is it

love the car and that year, but damm GM, why, why that poop brown!! that's the worst color to ever be put on a sports car, PERIOD

Get your hand off of his car, you should know better

Should have driven the hell out of it and enjoyed it before restoring it. Now you have a nice car which should be driven to be truly enjoyed but it sits in a garage. I could never own a car I could not drive. That's what cars are for. Beautiful color. You only live once. Start driving it. I would.

Beautiful!
