Only 5,200 miles since a high quality, body off the frame
restoration to factory specs. This is a very highly sought after
365 horsepower car with #s numbers match colors, motor, trans and
rear. Same owner since 1987, 32 years! He is a collector with
several cars. It was very well cared for. I'm very impressed with
it's condition. The fit, finish and function is great.
EXTERIOR: This is the lowest production of all the colors in 1964.
The name saddle tan does it no justice. It's a classy metallic
color. The body is fantastic. Restored over 30 years ago and there
are no signs of damage or cracking. Everything fits really well,
doors shut with a click. The paint has a clear coat finish that is
polished smooth and glossy. Jambs are slick. Excellent weather
strips and seals. All the chrome, stainless, emblems etc are really
nice. The tan convertible top has no signs of wear, window is
clear. Has knock off wheels and BFG radial tires. Headlights open
and close real well. Has correct antenna.
INTERIOR: Really nice inside too. I'm sitting in it, I can tell the
cushions are new because the seats are firm. Upholstery fits tight.
Beautiful dash. Gaugesare completely restored. Has only 5,205 miles
on odometer, that's since full restoration. Has correct 6,500
redline tach for the high revving motor. The clock works. Has
original Am-Fm radio. The glovebox door looks new, looks new inside
and it even feels right opening and closing. Carpets front to back
were replaced. Door panels are excellent. Has the correct seat
belts. Looking up at the convertible top frame, it's all painted
black. Really, it's very tidy and clean inside. There is one flaw,
age crack below the radio.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has the legendary 365 horsepower 327 motor. In
those days rarely did horsepower exceed the cubic inches. This
motor had special heads, factory aluminum intake with a big Holley
carb, high compression and the solid lifters allowed it to rev
higher. It has deeper groove pulleys so the belts don't fly off. It
looks completely correct. Has upper and lower ignition, aluminum
finned valve covers, air cleaner and stock exhaust manifolds with
heat tube going to the choke. Has correct fuel filter, spring clamp
battery cables, correct hoses and clamps. The wiring is neatly
wrapped. Has the rubber splash shields over the suspension. It is
clean, painted and proper looking.
UNDERSIDE: It was off the frame and completely restored. Recently
cleaned and touched up. Mint floors are still raw fiberglass. The
chassis is painted black. Has spare tire carrier. The Muncie
4-speed is vin # matched to the car. The original rear end has the
proper codes. It's a 3.36 posi. Corvettes all had front and rear
independent suspension. Bottom of the motor is clean, has original
canister oil filter.
I've been all around this car top to bottom, in and out. I've
driven it. I am impressed with the entire car. It feels right.
Doors click shut, seats are firm, shifts easy, clutch is smooth,
takes off like a rocket. An investment that's ready for show and
go!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
