Your Next Project Car: 1963 Corvette Split Window

The 1963 Corvette split window is a one-of-a-kind car with the most recognizable rear window(s) ever found on an American sports car. This is a highly coveted model had a limited one year run, and tend to get collectors worked up when one comes up for public auction. Because of its highly-collectible nature, they’re becoming harder to find, and buying one can make you dig deep into your pockets to bring one home. This unfinished project car from Tom Mack Classics is heading to auction with a great backstory, and is selling without a reserve.

This split window coupe Corvette has amazingly been in the same family for over 20 years. Mr. McCormick was a real car guy, whose passion steered him towards the Corvette moniker. Having an engineering degree, Michael wanted to restore this special Corvette himself, but unfortunately he passed away before it could be completed.
