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.

3:51
Community he first appeared on Corvette today number 30 that was back in November of 2020 and he has an exciting
3:58
new project that here to talk about it is my honor to welcome back Peter Brock to the show he's going to be talking
4:05
about his new split window Corvette Peter it's great to have you back on Corvette today my friend well see it's
4:12
always fun to talk about Corvettes I mean right from my first job at GM which was my goal when I was going to Art
4:18
Center to go to work for GM because of the work that was being done at the Corvette always been one of my favorite
4:23
cars and the car up is become a classic absolutely well first off and that
4:29
leaves me right into my first question for you Peter you are the only surviving member left on that team that designed
4:35
the original C2 Corvette tell me the story again about the C2 and how it came
4:40
about because I remember GM was ready to kill the Corvette at the end of the first generation weren't they absolutely
4:46
Harley Earl really saw the future of an American sports car and got involved in
4:52
uh leading the design team that built the C1 Corvette which was introduced in New York in 53 but they never really
4:59
made any money on it and of course Ford had come out with a 55 T Bird and they were killing him in sales and I think
5:06
top management just thought that it was a losing proposition Harley Earl was retiring from General Motors 1957 when I
5:14
was just coming into worked there I was 19 when I was hired and I was just 20 years old when I started working on the
5:20
project for him they had pretty much decided the whole image of performance that General Motors was going to go away
5:26
there's been a group of big American Automotive manufacturers came up with a thing they called the AMA ban and it was
5:34
primarily just to get rid of the performance image it was costing them all too much money primarily because of
5:40
what they were spending in NASCAR and drag racing and also for the liability because a lot of their Engineers were
5:47
actually testing the cars on Woodward Boulevard and I think the top management saw that and just said you know we've
5:53
just got to get out of this whole thing and killed off performance so essentially the Corvette became kind of
5:59
a non issue there it wasn't exactly banned but it wasn't encouraged and as you know one continued on to
6:06
1962 but when Mitchell went over to Trin in the summer of 57 to the Trin show he
6:14
saw a bunch of small beautiful streamliners all built with the 1600cc Fiat engines and this was kind of a big
6:21
thing going on in Europe at that time to set ultimate spe records M laay track and H bones and stuff like that and he
6:28
loved the overall shape of these little streamliners it was kind of a either nice Cris belt line or a modified top
6:36
and bottom kind of a beautiful sort of a aerodynamic shape and then a little aerodynamic shape over each wheel and
6:42
you can see that that was the coming theme that the Italians liked and also had just seen the Disco Volante Coupe
6:49
that Alpha Romeo had come back with and he had wanted to make a Corvette coupe from the beginning and saw that that was
6:55
a theme that was going to go so when he came back to the United States he was really enthusiastic about reigniting the
7:02
whole Corvette program but there was nowhere he could go he couldn't go up to Chevrolet studio and talk about it
7:08
because it was a program that nobody wanted to have any part with management said no more Corvettes so the only
7:14
option he had was to come downstairs to the advanced concept Studios where there
7:20
was three or four of us in there working we're all sort of new hires at General Motors he walked in and just started
7:27
talking to us to find out what kind of people people we were what kind of design guys we were and he happened to
7:33
mention Zora had taken the SS Corvette down to seing that year and of course I had learned about that car and had
7:40
driven down to Sebring myself to see it run because the car was never mentioned at General Motors when it was being done
7:46
it was such a secret project so we went down there so when he learned that I'd driven down there just to see that
7:52
project and see it go he knew that he had some guys that were really interested in what he wanted to do and
7:58
he slowly began to reveal his idea I don't even know if he was totally into it at that point or not because he
8:04
didn't know if he had the team but when he realized that there were three young good designers in the advanced concepts
8:10
who call Research b and we were led by a design head guy named Bob Riser started
8:17
revealing what he wanted to do with the new Corvette that's really how the program started that's really cool now
8:23
this car that you've got is called the studio concept 1963 Corvette and we've got to be clear this is not a Resto mod
8:30
Corvette touch on that and talk about the team who's building these cars with you the interesting thing was that when
8:36
you work at GM of course you do the production cars and the idea was if I
8:41
was in the studio doing the Corvette upstairs at that time we would often do what we call Concept covers and build
8:49
them out for top Executives in the company you know if buy nson wanted something special to drive or Mitchell
8:55
wanted something special to drive we build these oneoff cars well that was the whole idea of calling this
9:01
particular rework of the 63 a studio concept it's just exactly what had I've
9:07
been leading that project what I would have done had I been doing a special version for one of our top exec that car
9:13
is this trick underneath as it is on the outside because we put a new art morison chassis underneath it put the latest LS3
9:21
engine automatic push button transmission all the latest stuff on the street for the day but with all the
9:27
original lines of the 60 three and it was important to me from having designed
9:32
the the XP 87 which was a concept car that became the 63 Corvette to make sure
9:38
that we kept those lines as authentic as possible I didn't want to make it a hot
9:43
rod version of what somebody else thought it should be I wanted to keep the exact lines the way we did them at
9:49
General Motors in doing so I wanted to concentrate on the form and sort of
9:54
downplay a lot of the flashy stuff that was on the outside some of the trim and extra stuff that was in there so the
10:01
main thing was to make the car as smooth as possible and stay with the form for example all the bumpers which were
10:08
Chrome a black chrome so the form would stand out but it would still be the 63
10:13
that's awesome now you plan on building 20 of these reimagined 63 split windows
10:18
and I know that the first one was just auctioned off at Barrett Jackson recently wasn't it you know that's the
10:24
first one it's a great success down there we've got already four more people that have come in and want to do them so
10:31
everyone will be completely different because they get to choose their own colors and Interiors working with us but
10:37
there'll be no two cars exactly the same allthough the lines and all the specialty equipment we put into this
10:44
first Barrett Jackson sale model will be on the car fantastic now you debuted this car at SEMA that had to be exciting
10:51
tell me a little bit more about the debut there at SEMA and how the reception was to the car well SEMA is a
10:57
great show because it's a one place everybody that's in the performance industry brings new cars to show and
11:04
it's primarily the top builders in the country working with suppliers of
11:09
special equipment speed equipment so you know whether it's a camshaft manufacturer somebody making special
11:15
cylinder heads or special blocks or whatever they'll have one of these trick cars brought in that they work with and
11:22
that was the whole idea with this car is to build it and to introduce it at SEMA and it was a great success there because
11:28
there are so many people there that really appreciated what we did with the car because there are a lot of people
11:33
that are just hardcore Corvette guys and especially people that like split windows because it was only built in
11:39
that one year 1963 so that's a real icon car but there was a lot on that car that
11:46
never got done exactly the way I did it when it was in the studio so it was a chance to go back and refine some of
11:53
those things without changing the lines for example I increased the area of the rear windows which is one of the things
12:00
that Zora dunov complained about when Bill Mitchell wanted to make a split window version of the car so I opened
12:06
the windows back up to the way that I originally had it and those had been cut back when the car was done for
12:11
production all kinds of special things like special headlights underneath halo headlights made all of them the Scoops
12:19
functional because their designs were in there but they were phony and they were in primarily for sales interest which
12:25
Mitchell believed in I always hated it because it wasn't real so it a chance to make those things really efficient and
12:32
it turned out beautifully so when you look at the car you can see that there's some real depth to the sculpture in the
12:38
in the body form but it still retains the original lines and I tell you what we're going to talk more about the exact
12:43
nuts and bolts coming up next Peter let's take a break when we come back we'll get into the specifics of your
12:49
reimagined 63 split window coming up next on Corvette today we all know that

16:20
4231 I'm your host Steve Garrett with me is the legendary Peter Brock we are talking about his new reimagine 63 split
16:28
window Peter in the second segment let's talk more about the specifics you know right away I noticed that the center
16:34
spine of this car is much more pronounced tell me more about that it's a matter of refinement of design some of
16:41
the things that are more difficult to do in in a full-on production car that you can't get as Crisp And as sharp as you
16:48
like it was a way to make the spine on that car which is absolutely Bill
16:54
Mitchell's idea from the beginning to split the windows I designed the car the full wear window and it and Mitchell
16:59
came in and wanted to split it because he had a great appreciation of the Bugattis 57 SC atlantique which had a
17:07
split window and of course that car was done out of magnesium which was very difficult to weld so one of the ways
17:13
that they put the panels together was with a vertical section that they riveted together which created a spine
17:19
down the center of the fenders and of the roof line so that was a way to go back to that design for Bill Mitchell's
17:26
bline and he had not done very very strongly on the on our production car
17:32
again because the engineers come in to do stuff stuff gets flattened out a little bit right so it was back and put
17:38
the sline in there and it really sets that rear window and I think it works very well on it I do too I love it and
17:45
that atlantique is a gorgeous car as well and like you mentioned earlier the split windows are larger too that was by
17:52
Design though wasn't it absolutely when I had originally designed the car I had much larger windows in it and of course
17:58
course Zora liked what I was doing very much and then when bill came in and had
18:03
the guy scoop the window zorao went up through the roof he didn't want to do it at all but that was Mitchell's car he
18:10
was the guy that was paying for it was his project so we split the windows on it now when the car was gone into
18:17
production again there was a compromise whoever was doing the final engineering on it for a matter of either cost or
18:24
whatever was done the split windows became smaller so it was a chance here
18:29
on this one to go back to do the windows the way I wanted them originally with a lot more area coming down on the sides
18:35
and coming down the rear it's done so well that a lot of it fun to come up and look at the car with guys who are
18:41
hardcore Split Window Guys and they look at the car and they God that thing looks really good see it until you point it
18:48
out and then you put it side by side with a regular one and the windows on the regular one look tiny yeah they
18:54
really do and I like it there's no Chrome around your new reimagined split window looks very very modern but it
19:00
still hearkens back to that original split window back from ' 63 now you alluded to this a little bit in the
19:07
first segment but talk to me more about the headlights because they don't flip up like the original C2 headlights these
19:13
are more halo headlights underneath the nose of the car yes that's one of the
19:18
big advantages As you move ahead the technology improves and that's especially so in headlight materials so
19:24
was a chance to put these headlights underneath and get away from the TR some flip up lights which are also not very
19:31
aerodynamic they block a lot of the air flow over the hood so by being able to smooth off the entire top front end of
19:37
the car it looks a lot cleaner but it's also far far efficient with the headlights underneath that's awesome it
19:44
looks really really cool and I know that the thing about the C2 all the vents on the C2 originally were nonfunctional but
19:51
this Corvette has functional vents on the hood B pillar and also the side quarter panels exactly yeah again these
19:59
were surface details that Mitchell designed into the car asked us to put in
20:04
and we drew them in as he wanted but it's very very difficult because if you look at doing the inside finish of those
20:12
things like especially on the side quarter panels those are very expensive things to do so in a matter of trying to
20:19
keep the cost down the engineering turns out to just sort of indicate where they are in plastic they don't have the depth
20:26
and the sculpturing that that was intended you know it begins to look like plastic playground toys or something
20:32
like that right when you put them in and make them real and you can see that they're working it gives the car so much
20:38
more credibility yes definitely and like we said you do have flush mounted glass
20:44
plus you also have one piece side windows too yep we dropped the b-pillar on there again to go back with the
20:50
original sketch that I did on the car to give it sort of that original look when it was sketched out so it makes the car
20:57
simpler and I think a lot prettier I think so too well let's take our final break Peter when we come back we'll talk
21:03
more about the engine and some of the power and more specifics coming up next on Corvette

docomo Steve Garrett with me is the legendary Peter Brock the man that sketched and designed the C2 Corvette
24:55
and the famous split window we're talking about his reimagine split window Corvette that's coming out soon Peter
25:01
talk to me about the engine that you've chosen for your reimagine 63 split window well I've always admired Ed
25:08
Cole's V8 from the time it was a small what we call small block but it's been the number one Performance Engine for
25:14
anybody that wants to build a really neat Hot Rod or upgraded production car that particular LF engine that we have
25:22
now has been such a wonderfully developed engine over the years from the time that the V8 was originally in
25:28
introduced in 1955 so you can imagine how much better that engine is now and
25:33
I've used LS engines and everything I've got one in my own Daytona Cobra Coupe which of course they want to see a Ford
25:39
engine and a Daytona Coupe but I run an LS engine in my Daytona so it was a
25:45
perfect engine to put in this split window we just took a crate motor on LSD but really scooped it up a little bit
25:51
with the her fuel injection on it and nice heads and everything but really underneath it's just a standard LS3
25:59
engine and for the street there just isn't a better combination definitely horsepower and what you can use and you
26:06
get to cruise along the road you're running down the freeway at the 70 and you're only turning you know 2200 RPM
26:12
how good is that that's awesome yeah those LS3 is were great engines talk to me also about the chassis I know the
26:19
chassis is special you got a good transmission and special breaks on there too yeah absolutely we select that to go
26:25
with Art Morrison on the chassis the M Engineering chassis are all modern suspension we can use all the components
26:33
from the C7 you know all of the forge alloy arms and spindles and brakes and
26:38
everything so basically everything underneath is modern Corvette on a modern chassis that's awesome we did the
26:45
same thing with brakes all C7 and then interior electric shift transmission and stuff that's nice yeah and I was going
26:51
to say talk to me about the details on the interior because I know you have a push button shifter you've got a flat
26:57
bton spark IND IND steering wheel and a rearview mirror that is a camera Alla the C8 isn't it absolutely all the
27:04
latest stuff on that and of course the interior is just beautifully done all of that is all done in leather you know all
27:10
up on the instrument panel everything in leather upgrade like you can't believe it really is a beautiful beautiful car I
27:18
also love the wheels talk to me about the wheels because they remind me of the original C2 Wheels the knockoffs well
27:24
that was the whole point with it is to get back and look very much the traditional Chevy Corvette wheels so
27:30
these are Forge Line Wheels and I wanted to keep them size down to 18s okay
27:35
because the Resto mod goes way way too big on the wheels and the proportions are just wrong for that era car the 18s
27:42
are about as big I feel as you can go on that car and still look correct but having all the details with all the nice
27:49
little fins on them are very much like the details that came out in the Mitchell era at General Motors I mean
27:55
they just put so much beautiful detail into the cars at that time and these wheels reflect that Arrow yeah I love
28:01
the wheels and I love your point about that because all the Resto mods seem to go with larger wheels and they aren't
28:07
era specific but these are and they look fantastic absolutely you have to stay
28:12
with the era because you begin to get away from that when the car begins to get distorted and it just doesn't have
28:17
the classic look that it was originally intended and you finish off the look with traditional Corvette side pipes too
28:23
that's awesome oh absolutely oh that was the way to do it but you'll notice that again the trim is done in the dark and
28:30
eyes on there so it doesn't take away from the overall form of the body but it's still there so everything is there
28:37
to look original but we're concentrating on the form and not the trim exactly now
28:42
I know you said that every buyer will have their choice of interior and exterior colors if someone wants to look
28:48
