Whether it's good for 250, 300, 340, or 360 horsepower remains a mystery. There's no info as to what lurks under the hood, but we do know that the Corvette was only available with a 327-cubic-inch (5.4-liter) small-block mill in 1963. However, it might not hit the $1-million mark, a status usually reserved for L88-powered Corvettes. I remember that the final C2-gen Corvette, a 1967 example, changed hands for $675,000, so the final split-window car should change hands for more than that. Horsepower Warehouse evaluates the car at $500,000, but there's a good chance it will go for more than that. This Saddle Tan split-window car is one of them and it will probably become one of the most expensive C2 Corvettes ever auctioned. The guys at Horsepower Warehouse, known for having some of the finest C2 Corvettes out there, didn't provide too many details but revealed that they've been contacted by Mecum Auctions to provide a pair of high-end Corvettes. What's more, it seems that the sports car is being prepared to go under the hammer. This car just showed up in Horsepower Warehouse's garage and it appears to be in excellent condition. I'm talking about the final 1963 Corvette coupe, which is also the last split-window 'Vette ever produced. The first-year status and the unique rear window enable the 1963 Corvette to cost more than $100,000 when in Excellent condition, but certain features and options can up the price into $150,000 to $200,000 territory.īut there is at least one 1963 Corvette that could cost more than $500,000. And with only 10,594 coupes built that year, it's a fairly rare car. This decision left 1963 as the only model year for the split-window Corvette. As a result, it was discontinued in 1964.

Not only it was disliked by Zora-Arkus Duntov, but the split window also raised safety concerns due to reduced rearward visibility. This now-desirable element was part of the C2 Corvette's design from the very beginning.
