Gearheads, here’s your shot at parking one of the most coveted Corvettes ever built in your own garage.

The 1963 Split-Window Coupe is a one-year-only body style and the holy grail of Corvettes. This example is powered by its factory original matching-numbers L84 327/360hp fuel-injected engine paired with a factory BorgWarner T10 4-speed manual transmission. Of the 21,513 Corvettes built in 1963, only 2,610 came equipped with the L84 fuel-injected engine, making this a truly special find.

The car received a comprehensive frame-on restoration that started with a “no-hit” body. The exterior was refinished in Sebring Silver over a black interior. It features factory power windows and rides on factory wheels with spinner-style wheel covers wrapped in new whitewall tires. A Level 5 ceramic coating, applied by Tint Cartel using the Ceramic Pro Gold Package, adds four layers of 9H protection with an extra layer on exposed areas.

Shawn Henry has spent years writing about cars, and it shows—not in a resume kind of way, but in how he talks about them. He's the type who'll notice the weird trim option nobody remembers and actually know why it mattered. At Backfire News, he covers pretty much the whole spectrum: off-road trucks and trail builds, performance cars, racing, and the collector market. He's comfortable getting into the technical weeds, but he never forgets that most people read about cars because cars are fun, not because they want a spec sheet. His beat runs from classic and collector vehicles to overlanding culture, modified performance builds, new automotive tech, and the industry news that actually affects what ends up in your driveway. Mostly, though, Shawn thinks the best car stories are about people—the builds they pour money into, the road trips, the communities that form around a shared obsession. That's the stuff he likes writing about, and it's what you'll find in his work here.
