This custom 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe was the subject of a custom build by Doug Rippie, owner of Doug Rippie Motorsports in Chandler, AZ. It is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine with Wiesco pistons, a low-profile GM Performance oil pan and Borla 8-stack fuel injection with individual throttle-bodies. Mated to the V8 is a 4L80E automatic transmission, and it's all mounted to an SR111 tube-frame chassis with 3.55-ratio 9-inch Currie rear end with Eaton Detroit Truetrac limited-slip differential. The car also comes equipped with a Ron Davis aluminum radiator and Billet Specialties serpentine belt conversion, a stainless-steel fuel tank and a ceramic-coated mandrel-bent Heartthrob dual-exhaust system with stainless-steel mufflers. This car rides on C6 Corvette front and rear independent suspension and rolls on customs Schott wheels wrapped in custom Diamond Back whitewalls. Finished in Silver Blue (912), this fiberglass Split-Window was refinished by Squeeg's Kustoms of Chandler, AZ. It is equipped with power steering, power-assisted Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with two-piece rotors, retractable headlights with Detroit Speed Engineering electric motors, adjustable Viking coilovers and Vintage Air climate control. The interior features a 3-spoke steering wheel on a Flaming River tilting column, Dakota Digital 160-mph, 8,000-rpm tachometer auxiliary gauges, XM Radio and Glide Engineering bucket seats trimmed in black leather, complemented by a black dashboard and door panels. There is a quartz analog clock and Antique Automobile head unit mounted vertically in the center stack. The car won the 2023 Pacific Grove California Concours Auto Rally Best of 60-Year Anniversary of Corvette Marque Award. NCRS Shipping Data Report references a production date in March 1963 and indicated initial delivery to Luby Chevrolet of Denver, CO.
