Series : 30837S110367
Legendary sports car
Exciting project
Restoration to be finished
Sold without MOT
French collector's registration

Designed by Larry Shinoda, the C2 Corvette was nicknamed the ‘Sting Ray’ because of its spur-stripe rear end. It replaced the now legendary C1 from 1963. Produced until 1967, the C2 was a sports car with coupé or cabriolet bodywork. The rare ‘Split Window’ version from 1963 was a big hit with American car enthusiasts, but was quickly abandoned in 1964 to meet the need for better rear visibility. Under the bonnet, a 5.4-litre small block came as standard, with power ratings ranging from 250 to 375 bhp. In 1965, a 6.5-litre big block was introduced, delivering 425bhp. Produced in the region of 118,000 examples (all body styles combined), the C2s were very popular with American car enthusiasts.

Presented in the rare Split Windows version, produced only in 1963, this Corvette is a restoration project waiting to be finished. Acquired in California in 2019 by its current owner, it was imported and registered in France the following year. He then undertook a restoration project during which the mechanical parts were removed. The running gear (brakes, suspension, front and rear axles, etc.) and gearbox were rebuilt. The chassis was repainted and given a new coat of anti-gravel.
As for the engine, the original one (no. 3110367) was broken, dismantled and partially rebuilt. Given the scale of the job, a new GM 5.7 engine was ordered. Never installed, the future owner will have the choice of installing this new engine, or continuing to rebuild the original engine in order to obtain a Matching Numbers car.
A large number of spare parts are supplied with this Corvette, so don't hesitate to contact our teams for more information on this exciting project.
