The 1963 Corvette was a pivotal year for the iconic sports car. It marked the debut of the C2 generation, featuring a new coupe body style and the iconic split window design. Despite the introduction of the coupe, convertibles remained popular, accounting for slightly more than half of the total production.

One such convertible is currently listed on eBay by seller autorama_1023. Described as a barn find, the car has recently been pulled from storage and offers a unique opportunity for Corvette enthusiasts. While specific details are limited, potential buyers are encouraged to inquire further before making an offer.

The black-on-black Corvette appears to retain its original paint and features a 327ci engine with 340 horsepower paired with a 4-speed transmission. However, the engine is currently not running. The seller suggests that low compression might be the culprit, but a thorough inspection by a mechanic is recommended before any further action.

Despite its extended stay in hiding, this Corvette still presents a solid foundation for restoration. While the owner admits it requires a few components, the majority of the car remains intact, simplifying the process. Its above-average condition suggests that a refresh should be relatively straightforward.

However, the convertible’s lack of a soft or hard top might require additional consideration if you plan to use it as a daily driver. The online auction has generated substantial interest, attracting 38 bids in a short period. With no reserve, the highest bidder will secure the Corvette when the listing concludes in eight days.

The car’s popularity is evident in the 73 people who have added it to their watchlist, potentially joining the bidding frenzy at the last moment. Given this high level of interest, the Corvette is well on its way to finding a new home.
