1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C2 "STINGRAY" SPLIT WINDOW Series: 30837S110367 Mythical sports car Exciting project Restoration to be finished Sold without technical control French collector's registration Designed by Larry Shinoda, the C2 Corvette was nicknamed the "Sting Ray" because of its spur-striped rear end. It replaced the now legendary C1 from 1963 onwards. Produced until 1967, the C2 was a sports car in coupé or cabriolet body styles. In fact, the rare 1963 "Split Window" version is all the rage among American car enthusiasts, as it was quickly abandoned in 1964 to meet the need for better rear visibility. Under the hood, a 5.4L small block is standard, with power ratings ranging from 250 to 375 hp. In 1965, a 6.5L big block was introduced, delivering 425 hp. Produced in the region of 118,000 units (all body styles combined), C2s were very popular with American car enthusiasts. Presented in the rare Split Windows version, produced only in 1963, this Corvette is a restoration project to be finished. Acquired in California in 2019 by its current owner, he imported it and registered it in France the following year. He then undertook a restoration project, during which the mechanics were removed. The running gear (brakes, suspension, front and rear axles, etc.) and gearbox were rebuilt. The chassis was repainted and given a new coat of anti-gravel. As for the engine, the broken original one (n°3110367) was dismantled and partially rebuilt. Given the scale of the project, a new GM 5.7 engine was ordered. Never installed, the future owner will have the choice of installing this new engine, or continuing to rebuild the original engine to obtain a Matching Numbers car. A large number of spare parts are supplied with this Corvette, so don't hesitate to contact our teams for more information on this exciting project. ERRATUM: We would like to remind buyers that this is not a fuel-injected version, but a V8 250hp version. The engine pictured is the new 5.7 block. 1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C2 'STINGRAY' SPLIT WINDOW Series: 30837S110367 Legendary sports car Exciting project Restoration to be finished Sold without MOT French collector's registration Designed by Larry Shinoda, the C2 Corvette was nicknamed the 'Sting Ray' because of its spur-stripe rear end.

1980 Chevrolet Corvette C3. U.S. registration Customs clearance, certificate 846 A FFVE certificate Sold without MOT 28340 miles on the odometer Exterior color: "Classic White Interior color: "Doeskin 592 14 000 / 18 000€ In 1980, the C3 underwent its final restyling before being replaced in 1984. It adopted a more contemporary, angular look, with redesigned front and rear fascias incorporating "fins" to improve aerodynamics. The restyling was accompanied by a major weight loss. The massive use of plastics and aluminum means that the latest evolution of the C3 loses 113.5 kg in its first year. This weight reduction is part of a program to reduce the fuel consumption of GM vehicles. The car's design has been revised, with the adoption of a rear window that significantly increases trunk volume. The interior has also been extensively reworked: the instrumentation, glovebox and many other details have been modernized. This vehicle comes from the USA, and the fiberglass body is in good condition, with no breaks or traces of improper repairs. The car has retained its original exterior and interior color configuration. The car is powered by a 350ci V8 mated to a TH350 automatic transmission. It has power steering, disc brakes, aluminum wheels and an original targa roof. It has its own FM/Am radio and electric windows. It is equipped with an Edelbrock intake and a sport exhaust system. US CG, customs clearance and FFVE document supplied.
