The Corvette Stingray Split Rear Window was only in production for one year - 1963. Of the 21, 513 vehicles produced that year, only 10, 594 were made as Split Window Coupes. They made such a sensation in 1963 that Chevrolet had to employ additional shifts in order to try and keep up with demand. Styled under the influence of Bill Mitchell and his successful Stingray Sports Racer, this car was an immediate hit. This car is fitted with a 5. 4litre- 327 Cubic Inch V8 producing 300bhp mated to a 4 speed Manual Gearbox which feels tight and precise, and has Independant Rear Suspension which helps to keep the power under control by improving the grip and handling.
Today, the Split Screen Corvette Stingray is revered as one of the most Beautiful cars ever made, and quite rightly so.
