Let’s cut to it, Backfire News fans: there’s a chance to put a genuine 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Fuelie Coupe in your garage — and $20,000 in cash in your pocket. The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum is giving it away, and we’ve lined up something special just for our readers.
The catch? There isn’t one. Use our exclusive promo and your entries are DOUBLED automatically — the same contribution gets you twice the shot at the most collectible Corvette ever built. That double-entry bonus was only available through June 14.
Why this car matters: the 1963 Split-Window is a one-year-only design, and this example is the real deal — numbers-matching, with its factory L84 327/360hp fuel-injected V8 and a factory BorgWarner T10 4-speed manual. Only 2,610 of the 21,513 Corvettes built in 1963 left the line with that fuelie setup. This one wears Sebring Silver over black, got a thorough frame-on restoration off a clean no-hit body, rolls on factory wheels with spinner covers and fresh whitewalls, and was finished with a multi-layer ceramic coating to keep the shine.
Not a garage-space guy? Take the $150,000 grand prize cash option instead. And here’s the feel-good part: every entry supports the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Knoxville, Iowa that keeps sprint car history alive.
The drawing was scheduled for June 20, 2026. No purchase or payment is necessary to enter; see the official rules for full details.
