1963 Corvette Coupe the Corvette presented here is an attempt to duplicate Grand Sport chassis #0004. The car was owned by Grady Davis and driven by famed driver, Don Yenko.
This car started life as a 1963 silver coupe with dark blue interior. By the time it was retrieved
from an Ohio junkyard in 2000, the only things remaining were the center section bird-cage,
two doors, and the title. Attached to the frame is a ’91 Corvette suspension system, including wheel hubs and disc brakes. Adjustable coil-over shocks are present up front with Carrera adjustable shocks in the rear. A Rock Valley stainless steel custom fuel cell resides in-between the frame rails.
The power source is a 1971 LT1 Corvette engine stroked to 377 cu. In. and sporting a “Comp
Cam”, forged pistons, big valve heads, and a cross ram intake manifold with four Weber DCOE
45 carbs. Compression was increased to 10:1 to be closer to the 1970 370 hp LT1
specifications. A close ratio Muncie 4 speed transmission completes the drive train. The tires are 60 series Goodyear Eagles.
Dark blue ’63 seats and carpeting along with white faced Autometer gauges, plus a roll bar with Simpson racing shoulder restraints and seat belts. There is a storage trunk in the rear.
Creature comforts include “Vintage Air” air conditioning, tilt telescopic steering wheel, power
steering and 4 wheel power disc brakes, as well as an AM/FM radio and CD player.
