1963 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray Fuel-Injection Convertible

The story

1963 was the year the Sting Ray was born, and the fuel-injected cars sit at the very top of the C2 hierarchy. The Rochester mechanical injection system was cutting-edge technology, lifting the 5.4-litre V8 to 360 bhp — extraordinary numbers for the era.

With its long bonnet, sculpted flanks and hidden headlamps, the convertible Sting Ray is one of the most celebrated designs in automotive history. Genuine F.I. cars are rare, historically significant and among the most prized of all Corvettes.
