Description
The Corvette C2, also known as the second generation of Chevrolet Corvettes, was produced from 1963 to 1967. This generation is often referred to as the "Sting Ray" Corvette and is highly regarded for its groundbreaking design and enhanced performance.
The C2 Corvette, especially the convertible variant, is considered a classic American sports car, notable for its striking appearance and significant improvements over its predecessor, the C1 Corvette.
The convertible version of the C2 Corvette retained the sleek and iconic styling of the Sting Ray. It featured a distinctive split rear window in the 1963 model year, which was replaced with a single-piece rear window in later models.
Under the hood, the C2 Corvette offered a range of powerful V8 engines. Initially, the base engine was a 327 cubic inch (5.4-liter) V8 with various power outputs, and in later years, more potent options like the legendary 427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) V8 engines were introduced, delivering exceptional performance.
Transmission options included a manual four-speed gearbox as standard, providing a more engaging driving experience, though an automatic transmission was also available.
The C2 Corvette's chassis was significantly improved compared to its predecessor, with better handling, improved suspension, and enhanced overall performance. It was praised for its balanced driving dynamics and agility, making it a standout performer among American sports cars of its era.
The convertible top of the C2 Corvette was manually operated and could be folded down to complement the car's sleek lines, providing an exhilarating open-top driving experience.
Today, the C2 Corvette convertible remains a highly coveted collector's car due to its iconic design, powerful performance, and its status as a significant milestone in Corvette history. Its classic styling and performance capabilities continue to captivate automotive enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

Pricing
At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.
As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
