Introduced for the 1963 model year, the C2 generation of Corvette was an instant hit. The car carried over the excellent engines from1962, but the remainder of the car was new, with now iconic styling and independent rear suspension. In 1963 and 1964, all cars were equipped with 327cid engines. In 1965, the Corvette received disc brakes all around for the first time, addressing a longtime area of criticism of the car, particularly considering its significant power ratings. This particular convertible car is equipped with white soft top, original Nassau Blue hard top, 4-speed transmission, power antenna, the differential is “AO” 3.70 positraction stamped 12-3-64 from the factory, Stainless Steel brakes, AM/FM radio, day/night mirror, side mount exhaust system, tinted glass all windows, bolt on simulated knock off wheels, and Coker classic white wall radial tires.
