“One glance at the new Corvette tells you that it is faster and sportier than its predecessors. And when you drive a Corvette Sting Ray, either the Convertible or the fastback Sport Coupe, you find that excitement is far more than skin deep” (Car & Driver, October 1962).
Arguably the most iconic Corvette, the ‘Sting Ray’ (or C2) variant was introduced for the 1963 model year. Heavily influenced by GM Design Chief Bill Mitchell’s XP-87 ‘Sting Ray’ racer not to mention Chevrolet’s striking XP-720 fastback prototype, the newcomer’s styling was primarily credited to Larry Shinoda. A clean sheet design, the C2’s ladder-frame chassis sat on an 8ft 2in wheelbase and featured five cross members, all-round independent suspension (a Corvette first) and large-diameter drum brakes. Differing states of tune and a choice between carburetion and fuel injection meant that the small block 327 cu in V8 engine fitted to all debut season ‘Sting Ray’ cars was quoted as developing anywhere from 250hp – 360hp. Although the two-seater could be specified with automatic transmission, some eighty percent of customers chose the more responsive four-speed manual gearbox. Thanks to the efforts of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Kai H. Hansen, Carl C. Jakust, H. F. Barr and E. J. Premo, the ‘Sting Ray’ was not only lower, narrower and shorter than its forebear but also faster, better balanced and more aerodynamic. Priced at $4, 037 and $4, 252 respectively, the ‘63 Convertible and Sport Coupe accounted for some 21, 513 sales (10, 919 open vs. 10, 594 closed).
