Split-Window Corvette Market Value & Price History
The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray coupe is the only Corvette ever built with a split rear window, divided by a body-colour bar down the centre. Zora Arkus-Duntov objected that it hurt rearward visibility and it was dropped for 1964, which left a single model year and made the car the most recognisable Corvette silhouette of the C2 era. DriveIndex tracks 4 models that the Split-Window Corvette name covers, across model years 1963–1963, with market values from $129,572 to $257,400, built on 880 verified auction sales. 32 are listed for sale. The median sale price is up 10.3% over the past 12 months versus the prior year. That figure tracks the median of what actually sold, so it moves with the mix of models, years and mileages that came to market as well as with the market itself.
Where the name comes from: 1963 Corvette Sting Ray coupe, one model year only; the 1964 redesign removed the divider.

Split-Window Corvette: questions, answered
The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray coupe is the only Corvette ever built with a split rear window, divided by a body-colour bar down the centre. Zora Arkus-Duntov objected that it hurt rearward visibility and it was dropped for 1964, which left a single model year and made the car the most recognisable Corvette silhouette of the C2 era. Not the 1963 convertible and not any 1964-or-later coupe — both have a one-piece rear window.
Market values across the 4 models the name covers run from $129,572 to $257,400. The median verified sale is $137,500, with half of all verified USD sales between $93,500 and $188,160.
