When I first stumbled across this ’63 split window coupe, I briefly convinced myself I’d found a loophole — a way to slip into a C2 Corvette without selling a kidney or two. Then I saw the asking price: $127,000. So much for loopholes.
Still, it’s hard to blame anyone for dreaming. A Daytona Blue Sting Ray — inside and out — is enough to make even the most disciplined car enthusiast start mentally rearranging their finances. And when that Sting Ray happens to be a numbers matching 1963 SWC, the temptation only grows stronger.
This particular car checks a lot of boxes. It still carries its original 327 engine, freshly rebuilt with only 2,000 miles since the work was completed. The odometer shows 65,521 miles, and the seller has held onto the car for 17 years, using it mostly for shows and weekend admiration sessions.
The eBay Motors listing describes it simply:
“1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe. Daytona Blue inside and out. I have owned this car for 17 years. Starts on first try and runs exceedingly well.”
Hard to argue with that. A clean title, a drivable condition, a four-speed manual, and a color combination that turns heads even when parked — this is the kind of Corvette that makes collectors lean in a little closer.
Whether it’s worth the asking price of $127K in this kind of average condition is most assuredly up for debate, but the appeal? That part’s undeniable. A split window in Daytona Blue does more than just catch your eye — it hangs on to it.

That’s the price you use when you cave in to the wife’s demand you put it up for sale. It’s safe, not going anywhere!
127K??? No thank you! This is a nice ’63 in driver quality condition. It’s not a fueler, it’s not a “tanker”, it’s not a Bloomington Gold award winner. What it is, is a very nicely preserved SWC in a very attractive color. There is absolutely nothing special about this other than it’s age.
In my honest opinion 75 to 85K is something closer to reality.
Price must have been reasonable as it sold before the comments were posted.
