The 1963 Split Window Z06 Coupe is one of the most coveted and therefore collected midyear Corvettes. Only 199 of these special performance optioned Vettes were produced. Then factor in the N03 36 gallon "tanker" option of which only 63 were made and you've got a very special Corvette indeed.

This spectacular Sebring Silver split window coupe with Black interior is an original Z06 car, and features the massive 36 gallon fuel tank for endurance racing. The $1,818.45 Z06 Special Performance Equipment option package also includes the 360-horsepower, fuel injected 327 with 11.25:1 compression, 4-speed transmission, 4.11 positraction differential, power brakes with metallic linings, heavy duty stabilizer bars, as well as heavy duty springs and shocks. Other optional equipment includes 6.70 x 15 4-ply, whitewall tires, tinted windshield, power windows and signal seek radio.

We've seen the 1963 Corvette Z06 Tankers sell for upwards of $370K but according to Keith Martin's Corvette Auction Database it appears this Corvette, which sold for $222,500 was priced well within the normal selling range of $200,000-$300,000. Both the buyer and seller should have walked away from this auction very happy.
