factory air conditioning (1 of only 1,988 models in '64) and an
exceptional example in every way, so much so that world famous
Corvette expert and enthusiast Noland Adams had used the car as a
reference in his renown Corvette restoration guide. In fact the car
scored 99.42 points out of 100 and scored first place at the
Western States Corvette Council judging meet in 2014.Fully loaded
and equipped with its original 327 V8 engine and factory power
steering, windows, brakes and air conditioning. The car was
reportedly the only one built with the optional knock off alloy
wheels with standard wheel caps and believed to be 1 of 7 ever
built in all Silver and with these options. The car has reportedly
never been restored and has only just turned 80K original miles.
