A fastback with futuristic lines, it had a split rear window, something that was novel for the times. A detail that made a lot of fuss were the headlights. The car sported quad headlamps that rotated into place when turned on. The chassis was also new, with a shorter wheelbase and an improved weight distribution that allowed a much snappier driving experience when compared to the original Corvette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/street\/corvette_stingray_1963_03.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Though elegant and very futuristic for the time, that rear window offered terrible visibility.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base engine for all the 1963 models was a 5359 cm\u00b3 (327 ci) SOHC <a class=\"postlink\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/cdn.speednik.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2015\/07\/2015-07-08_16-19-35.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">small block V8<\/a>, that produced 250 hp. However, if the customer wished so, bigger engines were available. So if you wanted you could order the Z-06 version of Sting Ray Coupe. The Z-06 came with a big block V8 that delivered 360 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/street\/corvette_stingray_1963_02.jpg\" alt=\"Sting Ray Coupe\"\/><figcaption>In scale the model is absolutely gorgeous.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though I\u2019ve always liked the Sting Ray Coupe, this one was NOT on my to-buy list. Well, let&#8217;s say it was listed just as a &#8220;target of opportunity&#8221;. But as luck would have it, both this Sting Ray and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.w-143.com\/index.php\/chevrolet-corvette-ss-1-autoart\/\" target=\"_blank\">SS<\/a> showed up. They were from the same seller, and he offered me a good package deal on both. I resisted (bravely!) for about  5 minutes (10 perhaps?) and caved\u2026 Right now though, I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t resist. The model was brand-spanking-new, still in its plastic wrap, and is easily one of my top three passenger cars from Spark. Detail level is overall fantastic and Spark did in ace of a job recreating the car in scale. So all-in-all I would dare say it\u2019s a must-buy for American Iron lovers. And a great buy if you just like great cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe Spark &#8211; S2791 (resin) Published 04\/25\/18 The Sting Ray Coupe was Chevrolet\u2019s second generation (C2) of the Corvette.
