CHEVROLET C2 CORVETTE 1963-67

Unique Cars|Issue 501
TWO YEARS after Jaguar made every other sports car obsolete with its E-Type, Chevrolet went a step further with its radical Corvette Sting Ray.
CHEVROLET C2 CORVETTE 1963-67

The shape was based on a General Motors show car from 1958 and under the radical fibreglass body was an enlarged, 5.3-litre version of Chevrolet’s small-block V8.

Cars with that engine and a single carburettor would reach 195km/h and run 0-400 metres in 14.8 seconds. Corvettes built from 1963 all featured full independent suspension and various types of wheels, but they came initially with all-drum brakes and no opportunity to specify discs.

Four-wheel discs became standard in 1964 but those cars also saw the distinctive split rear window that had characterised the ’63 Corvette coupe replaced by a single slab of curved glass.
