The factory four-speed manual is the kind of option that makes collectors drool, ecause it provides good control for power takeoffs while still having an extra gear for better highway cruising. The power is then sent to the independent rear suspension with Bilstein shocks and a new VBP transverse leaf spring. This is also a power steering and power brake car, o feel free to spend the weekend running around in this exceptionally clean 'Vette.1963 Corvettes are still highly sought for their first year appeal, nd with the split-window coupes stealing the show, oadsters like this remain very affordable alternatives. With matching numbers, ots of performance, great color combination, nd even the original owner's manual included, his Stingray 'Vette is a winner. Call now!!
