4. 1963 Split Window Corvette

One of the most unique Corvettes to be produced in the long line of American muscle car is the 1963 Split Window Corvette. The second generation Corvette that was released in 1963 was the first to bring the Corvette performance to the public at large. The automobile features an eight cylinder, 327cid engine and is rated at 250 horsepower. The car was the first to also include a split rear window which after the feature was deleted in 1964, made the 1963 edition unique enough to add it to one’s bucket list to drive before dying. Depending on the specific build and condition of the 1963 Corvette, values of the auto range between $60 – $245,000 USD. For those desiring more power out of their second generation Corvette ride, the company changed the engine in 1966 to the 427 V-8 rated at 430 horsepower, it just will not have the now famous split window feature.
