This one is a rarity among Corvettes, and the exact type Ken Lingenfelter saw as a 10-year-old. This split-window feature makes it all the more remarkable as a piece of his collection, even as the car turns heads on its own. The ’63 Corvette is a part of the first production year for the second generation ‘Vettes.
The car utilizes Peter Brock’s split-window design, a standout feature of the model. On top of that, the hood includes a thin center ridge that looks like someone fused a missile to the car. The vehicle drives like a missile, too, powered by a fuel injected 327 CI V8 engine that produces 360 horsepower. The engine is paired with a T-10 four-speed manual transmission, and in Lingenfelter’s, the original engine and transmission can be found intact within the car.
The split-window Corvettes are a unique collector’s item because the feature was removed in the ’64 design, making it a one-off feature that hasn’t resurfaced. This is because the segment of the car body that ran between the two windows acted as a point of obstruction for rear visibility and ended up becoming a notable design flaw.
