Vehicle Description
With a cool/rare color combo, four-on-the-floor, and a great
original style - right down to the V8 - this 1964 Chevrolet
Corvette coupe has all the right kinds of distinction.
This is an actual miles couple, and it has only averaged around 980
miles in the last 55 years! So you know only something special can
go all those years without pulling daily driver commuter duty. You
can see that in the body, including where the hood lines up nicely
and doors shut smoothly. And we know you're checking out the color.
Daytona Blue was only offered for two years, so it's great to see
that any resprays have not strayed from the original dark hue. In
fact, this retains all the right pieces you love, like the shining
rally wheels, ribbed rocker panels, and mirror-like two piece
bumpers front & rear. So this is certainly an icon of
distinction.
The factory-correct dark blue interior completes a total package
that looks like the sky right after a late summer sunset. And these
darker blues really do give this classic a nice modern flair
compared to some other colors offered in '64. More than just have a
nice look of originality, you can also tell this coupe was built to
be a true driver's machine. That's why you get bucket seats, a
wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and clear view of the full
gauges. You just know that bright shifter is calling out for your
right hand.
Lift the hood, and you'll find a beautifully honest 327 cubic-inch
V8. This is the numbers-matching unit of the Sting Ray's upgraded
L76 motor. Topped with a correct Holley List 2818-1 four-barrel
carburetor, this was built for higher compression and higher lift
camshaft. It was rated from the factory at 365 horsepower, and only
the expensive fuel-injected model was rated more powerful. On the
road, this motor has the right amount of snarl through the newer
dual exhaust pipes, and the control of the four-speed transmission
really lets you experience this to the fullest. Plus, the recent
investment in new bushings gives this a more connected feeling to
the road that's heightened by the fully independent sports
suspension.
This is the strong-running Sting Ray with all the right distinctive
features. And so at a price like this, you're looking at a very
attractive deal. Call now!
