Welcome, Corvette enthusiasts and collectors! We are thrilled to present what we firmly believe to be the finest 1963 Split Window Coupe ever offered on Bring a Trailer—or anywhere else. This isn’t just a car; it’s an icon, a piece of history, and a true investment-grade collectible.
Unmatched Pedigree & Provenance:
Corvette Mike acquired this Tuxedo Black beauty directly from the original owner’s widow in Norco, CA. Her late husband purchased the car brand new from Selman Chevrolet in Orange, CA—a dealership still in operation today! This is a one-owner car with an unrepeatable history, making it one of the most significant Split Window Coupes available today.
The most desirable 1963 Corvette Configuration and factory-built, with the best specs of its era.
This car features:
327/340 HP Solid Lifter V8 – C.C.A.S. Certified, original to the car
T-10 4-Speed Manual Transmission – For the purest driving experience
3.36 Posi-Traction Rear End – The perfect balance of performance & drivability
Tuxedo Black Exterior / Black Interior – An ultra-rare and stunning combination
A Corvette Mike Legacy – The Journey to Perfection:
Corvette Mike’s connection to this ’63 dates back to 1987 when he first laid eyes on it. Over the years, he stayed in touch with the owner, hoping to one day acquire it. That day came when the widow called with the sad news of her husband’s passing, and Mike knew he had to honor this car’s legacy.

Peter Brock, the renowned automotive designer and author, had been captivated by cars from a young age. His fascination with design and aerodynamics led him to join General Motors in the ’50s, where he found himself at the forefront of automotive innovation. The Sting Ray project was a turning point, a canvas where he could blend artistry with engineering.
The genesis of the Sting Ray wasn’t just about crafting a car; it was about challenging conventions. During the Wynn Concours, Mike met up with Peter and reminisced about the bold decisions—the split rear window, the iconic side vents, and the streamlined silhouette that made the Sting Ray instantly recognizable.
As Peter went through his book with Mike, a sense of pride washed over him. The Sting Ray wasn’t just a car but a legacy—a testament to innovation and the pursuit of greatness. It had left an indelible mark on automotive history, a legacy that inspired generations of enthusiasts.
Exclusive to Thundering Thursday readers, we’re offering Peter’s book at a low price of $40 per book plus shipping and handling of $14.85.

Greg & Lisa G.’s C7 Grand Sport Heritage
In 2017, my wife Lisa and I saw a poster for the new C7 Grand Sport Heritage Package and thought we might try and find one a few years later. We were blessed to own five Corvettes at that time with no room to spare. In 2021, we began looking for an Arctic White GS Coupe with the Heritage Package and there weren’t any around except for one at a Georgia dealership. In speaking with the dealer, we learned that the Grand Sport he had was the actual car which appeared in that poster, VIN #000001. What a find, the first C7 Grand Sport to roll off the assembly line and the very Corvette used by GM to promote the new Grand Sport. The car made appearances around the country at race tracks and Corvette events and was used as a press car for the automotive media. We made a deal and feel very blessed to own this special Corvette.

Some Random Thoughts
My bed is a magical place where I suddenly remember everything I was supposed to do.
If I ever get kidnapped, I’m just going to start giving them unsolicited life advice until they drop me off.
Nothing makes me question my life choices more than accidentally opening my front camera.
