Jeff Hayes–Modified 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe 5-Speed

This distinctive 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe is not your ordinary classic car. Originally manufactured in the heartland of America's car culture, this Corvette possesses unique characteristics that set it apart from its contemporaneous models. With a fiberglass body meticulously refinished in glossy black, it sits atop an Art Morrison chassis featuring tubular front control arms and a rear four-link suspension setup with adjustable coilovers, ensuring both striking aesthetics and agile handling. This particular model was originally crafted by Jeff Hayes himself, prior to its acquisition by the current selling dealer in 2023. Unlike many of its siblings that rolled off the assembly line, this Corvette bears the distinction of being customized under the hands of an expert craftsman. Adding to its allure is a power rack-and-pinion steering system, along with a five-speed manual transmission—a departure from the standard four-speed seen in similar models—allowing for greater control and responsiveness behind the wheel. Currently listed at $470,000 through Bring A Trailer, this modified 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe captures the essence of mid-century American muscle while offering contemporary driving dynamics that will satisfy the enthusiast seeking a unique blend of style, history, and performance.
