The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette itself is quite a head-turner, which is also why so many people still love it today.
The Corvette is currently one of the most sought-after models, especially in the collector’s world where rich people are drooling over cars in mint condition they can park in their garages.

On the other hand, it goes without saying that finding a Corvette in a perfect shape isn’t necessarily something that happens on a daily basis.

But this 1963, split-window example that we have here could be the next best thing.

As you can easily tell by just browsing the photo gallery, the car isn’t necessarily in a condition that would convince a collector to pay big bucks on it, but on the other hand, it has something many others don’t.

First and foremost, we’re not being told how original the Vette still is, though it doesn’t look like it’s been molested throughout its life. eBay seller recyclereduce2020 says the Corvette has been parked for nearly 46 years in the same garage, away from the bad weather, while the engine was last started in 1999.

The car left the factory dressed in Blue Daytona, but it was repainted shortly after that in the red you currently see on the body.

Very little is known about the engine, and the sellers themselves say they’re not “very sure” about it, so the best way to figure out if it’s worth a chance or not is by inspecting the car in person.

Is this Corvette still worth a chance?

That’s a question that only you can answer after a thorough verification on site. The vehicle is parked in Sandy, Utah, and right now, the top bid already exceeds $46,000, with some 6 days left until the auction officially comes to an end. The reserve, however, is yet to be met.
