Posted 03/25/2020 Seen at: https://barnfinds.com/exclusive-1963-corvette-split-window-coupe/ I am incredibly excited to be presenting this very special 1963 Corvette Coupe as a Barn Finds Exclusive! Reader David F's father purchased this Split Window Coupe back in 1965 and its been with their family ever since. Its been parked in their barn since 1992 and has not moved since, but the time has come to find a good home for it. You can find this dusty beauty in Tonawanda, New York with just 36k miles. This Corvette really is a part of David's family, he helped clean it as a little kid, remembers going for rides in it and its the car that his father taught him how to drive stick in. He shared a couple of photos of the car when he was a child and it sure is an amazing look at the cars past, plus you have to love that sailor's outfit! I am sure it will be difficult to see it go, but their family is hopeful that it will get put back on the road where it belongs. His dad had plans of getting it back on the street shortly after parking it, but health issues kept him from getting around to working on it and sadly, he passed away without having the chance to drive it again. His family just could not bring themselves to part away with it, but its finally time to let it go to a new family. Under the hood is the original 327 V8, which is paired to a 4-speed. No attempt has been made to start it, but it was driven into the barn in 1992, so there is a good chance it will run with minimal work. David is not sure which version of the 327 this is, but if the air cleaner is any indication, this is the 300 horsepower version. Paired with the 4-speed, it should be a fun machine to drive! While there is lots of work to be done here, the car actually looks to be in decent shape. The interior is complete and while it shows some wear, it looks like you could clean it up. It really is a time capsule, and I am sure it smells a bit musty, but hey its a barn find! The original radio is still in place, all the dials and gauges look to be present and in usable condition. David sent over nearly 200 photos, plus a video of the car. If you look closely at the drivers side door jamb, you can see service stickers from a Texaco showing the mileage into the 1980s. Given the overall condition and the fact that it has been in the family since 1965, there is little doubt that this Corvettes mileage is accurate. Given how desirable these cars are, I think this one is worth every penny! It is well documented, complete, all original and has been well-loved by one family for most of its life. What more can you ask for? I spoke with David extensively about the car and between himself, his sister and their mother, he is confident they can answer any questions you might have about the car. Be sure to check out all the photos in the gallery! See link above to website. Website may be taken down since car has been sold.
