Gateway Classic Cars proudly presents this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette
coupe with the original 327 cubic inch V8 with a 4 speed
transmission. This car has been mildly modified with hardened valve
seats to accommodate the use of unleaded fuel and has a Flowmaster
exhaust. Painted in 2014 in the current beautiful medium gray
metallic, the finish shows a glassy smoothness. After the
introduction of the C2 Corvette in 1963, in 1964 Chevrolet made
only evolutionary changes to the Corvette. Besides the coupe's
backbone window, the two simulated air intakes were eliminated from
the hood, though their indentations remained. Also, the decorative
air-exhaust vent on the coupe's rear pillar was made functional,
but only on the left side, the fuel filler/deck emblem gained
concentric circles around its crossed-flags insignia. Inside, the
original color-keyed steering wheel rim was now done in simulated
walnut. A few suspension refinements were made for 1964. The front
coil springs were changed from constant-rate to progressive or
variable-rate and were more tightly wound at the top, while leaf
thickness of the rear transverse spring was also altered thus
providing a more comfortable ride with no sacrifice in handling.
Shock absorbers were reworked toward the same end. Chevy added more
sound insulation and revised body and transmission mounts for the
1964 Corvette. It also fitted additional bushings to quiet the
shift linkage and placed a new boot around the lever. The result
was a more livable car for everyday transportation. If enthusiast
publications liked the first Sting Ray, they loved the 1964. To
