The 1963 Split Window Corvette was the car that first introduced me to the Corvette as a young man.

The man who sketched the C2 Corvette, Peter Brock, is a living legend in the Corvette community.  Recently, Peter introduced at SEMA 2024 a reimagined '63 Split Window Corvette!  Peter comes back to CORVETTE TODAY to give us all the details about his "new" '63 Split Window Corvette (he was originally on CORVETTE TODAY #30 in November of 2020).

Please note - this is NOT a restomod Corvette!  Peter has modernized this iconic Corvette but it retains the same body of the 1963 Split Window Corvette.

The first re-imagined '63 Split Window was auctioned off at Barrett Jackson/Scottsdale.  And a total of 20 units will be produced and sold.  Find out how you can purchase one by listening and watching this episode of CORVETTE TODAY!
