Congratulations to Tim all the way from Cleveland Ohio!
The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette prepared people for the new-for-1963 Sting Ray, but not quite well enough. When it debuted, the world was stunned—it was a wholly modern car that edged to the future, pulling far and away from the styling of the 1950s. It was fresh and innovative, recalling classic designs and nodding to the future, and it featured an entirely new chassis, suspension and, of course, body and interior.
Development started in the late 1950s and it would be the first time a wind tunnel was used to help sculpt and shape the Corvette into a more aerodynamically efficient form. By concept, the new Corvette, known as the second generation, would be a hardtop only, but development on a convertible began shortly after the coupe was finalized, bringing a sigh of relief to many, as traditionally, more Corvette convertibles are sold than coupes.
It truly was a ground-breaking car, and this one brings that spirit to life with its bright Daytona Blue exterior paint, Knock-Off Style wheels with spinners, Whitewall tires and so much more. A comprehensive restoration Completed in 2017, had prepared this corvette for the NCRS and Bloomington Gold Judging Field in 2018 where it received a NCRS Top Flight Award and a Bloomington Gold Award. Powered by its 327/340 Solid Lifter HP V-8 engine, a M20 4-speed manual transmission and 3:36 Posi-Traction rear axle lends a racier driving experience. The interior is Dark Blue and fitted with a clock and radio, camera case-finished plastics tempering bright metal surfaces throughout, all conspiring to create a handsome, business-like interior. Under the hood, the engine is well detailed like the engine compartment, the hoses branded with the GM stamp and the entire scene appearing like it's 1963 all over again.
It was a perfectly timed introduction for Corvette; with Jaguar introducing the E-Type in 1961, Lamborghini marching onto the scene with a hugely expensive car in 1963, and Porsche and Ford both teasing the public with newly designed vehicles expected at some point around 1965, Chevrolet could not have timed it better. The Sting Ray, regardless of the competition, was an instant icon and performance legend. It won races as easily as hearts, and that reputation sustains today.
