If seeing all those Corvettes in the North Carolina find left you needing to save a Corvette from an old barn, we have the car for you. It isn’t part of the NC collection, but instead located in Florida. It has been in storage since 1972 and is covered in decades of dust and dirt. It needs a new home and owner, so take a look at this 1963 Corvette Stingray Convertible here on eBay. Oh and did we mention this one is the 360 horsepower fuel injected model? Special thanks to Jim S for this tip!

The 1963 Stingray hardtop is one of the most sought after Corvettes, as it was the only year for the split rear window. Sadly, this one is one of the split window coupes, but a convertible with a removable hardtop. On the upside, it’s still a great looking car with the L84 option. Being an L84 means this one came optioned with the 360 horsepower 327 cui V8, with Chevy’s fuel injection system.

If you know your Chevrolet fuel injection systems or simply know what a carburetor looks like, you will quickly notice this motor currently doesn’t have its fuel injection system installed. The seller gives a decent explanation as to why the system was removed. Apparently the system was prone to mechanical failures that could leave the car strained on the side of the road or worse, not wanting to risk being stranded, the owner had a carb installed. We have seen many of these early fuel injection systems removed, but most often they are no longer with the car. Thankfully, the owner had enough sense to keep the system intact and with the car. Getting it working again will not be a simple task, but the added power would be well worth the work.

When it comes to seller’s claims, we tend to always be leery. We like to be trusting, but when it comes to the internet it’s too easy to make false claims. Thankfully, the seller has all the necessary documentation to prove that this is a real L84 and even has all the documents of when it was purchased and given to the original owner as a graduation/birthday present. Talk about a great present, we wish someone would give us a sports car for our birthday! Obviously the owner knew they were getting it, as it was ordered 9 months before the Stingray was released. It seems they had good taste, as they ordered it in red with a red interior and a four speed manual. Speaking of the interior, from what can be seen it looks to be in solid shape, but needs a good cleaning. We are curious to know where the extra parts sitting in the passenger side go though.

While we would love to give this Corvette a new home, it’s already out of our budget. We hope someone gives it a good garage to call home, but hopefully they will get it back on the road. Since we can’t have it, we will just have to keep dreaming! So if it were yours, would you put the fuel injection back on or would you leave it carbureted? Which would you go with and why?
