I'm sure its only purpose is to support the lexan window and prevent it from possibly sagging.....

The 63 split back window went over like a lead balloon. The only reason it is desirable today is because it is a rare one year only Corvette. It is cool looking on a C2. Lets leave it at that.

For the life of me I cannot see why a split window 63 is so special. I much prefer them without any splits and would hate to see it come back unless it is somehow functional. Sure, not many sold so they are rare but that doesn't make them esthetically beautiful or faster or anything other than they didn't know how to bend glass that much then.
Some of these designs are related to the materials and techniques possible of the day as well as what they wanted to do.
You can keep the split rear window for my two cents worth.

Split Window
In the Mid to late 60's people would cut the back window to accomidate one piece of Glass & make thier 63 look like a 64 or newer !
No love lost there, but it certainly helped contribute to making the survivors all that much more rare.
Who knew?
