1963 Chevrolet Corvette The Chevrolet Corvette C2 is a sports car designed by Larry Shinoda under the styling direction of Bill Mitchell, and produced between 1963 and 1967. It is the second generation or mid-year Chevrolet Corvette built and marketed by Chevrolet. 1963 would see the introduction of the new Corvette Sting Ray coupé with its distinctive split rear window and fake hood vents as well as an independent rear suspension. The split rear window was discontinued in 1964 due to safety concerns. Because they made the design too busy, the hood vents were also cut. Power for 1963 was at 365 hp (272 kW) hitting 375 hp (280 kW) in 1964. Four-wheel disc brakes were introduced in 1965, as was a "big-block" engine option (the 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8). Side exhaust pipes appeared on the 1965 Stingray and persisted through 1969. Chevrolet would up the ante in 1966 with the introduction of an even larger 427 in³ (7 L) version, creating what would be one of the most collectible Corvett...

•Only 3.2 percent of 1964 Corvettes were sold with the standard three-speed manual transmission. •Most, 85.7 percent, were equipped with a four-speed manual transmission. •An L84-powered 1964 Corvette could go from 0-to-60 mph in 6.3 seconds and from 0-to-100 mph in 14.7 seconds. •It had a top speed of 138 mph.

With the Sting Ray on such a roll, it was prudent for Chevrolet to make only evolutionary changes to the 1964 Corvette. Besides the coupe's backbone window, the two simulated air intakes were eliminated from the hood, though their indentations remained.

•The 1966 Corvette differed from the previous year because it had the following: ◦A plated, cast-metal grille with an "egg crate" insert ◦ribbed rocker panel moldings ◦chrome-plated exhaust bezels ◦spoke-style wheel covers ◦a vinyl covered headliner ◦the elimination of roof vents •The front fender sides again had three slanting vertical air louvers. •Inside, the seats had an extra amount of pleats. •Corvettes equipped with the new 427-cid V-8 came with a power-bulge hood.

pon examining the 1970s Chevrolet Corvette concept cars, it seems that for one brief shining moment, General Motors honestly intended to build a midengine Corvette for public sale. The moment came in late 1977, just as "America's only true sports car" was about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Regrettably, the decade-old "Shark" model had to carry the birthday banner, because the midships Corvette wasn't slated until 1980.
