Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful numbers
matching 1964 Corvette Sting Ray in excellent condition. This
Corvette looks great, runs well, and is an wonderful driver. We
have this car priced to sell and it is probably the cheapest
numbers matching second generation (C2) Corvette on the market in
such nice driver quality condition.
This Corvette is "Numbers Matching" meaning the engine in the car
is the correct and original unit that was installed in the car new
at the factory in 1963. The last six digits of the VIN, 102563, are
stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad.
Mid-year (C2) Corvettes are and will continue to be, the most
collectable and desirable Corvette generation. They are all solid
investments for a collector. This Corvette is ready to be used and
enjoyed. We have this car priced to sell and are offering an
excellent opportunity to own a clean and desirable mid year at an
unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for
more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C2
Corvettes is very hot right now and on the rise. Please peruse all
of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information to get
a true sense of how clean and nice this Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Red exterior is in nice driver condition. As one can see in the
photos the paint has a terrific gloss, deep shine, and smooth
finish. Both doors open and shut nicely. The knock off wheels have
a brilliant finish and no curb rash. Please note that these are
true "knock off" wheels with a real spinner that is knocked on and
knocked off to remove the wheels, they are not fake with covers and
lug nuts. The white wall tires have area almost new and correctly
sized 205/75R15. The soft top is in excellent shape and the rear
window is not yellowed or foggy. There are no major imperfections
that have been intentionally excluded from the many photos. There
are some touch-ups, chips, light crazing, and other very tiny
imperfections around the car that were too small to show up in the
photos, but nothing else that is really noticeable from about five
or ten feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the
underside of the car, this car is very clean underneath. We have
included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show
how this car looks.
Interior
The red interior in this Corvette is in fantastic condition. The
seats are in excellent shape with no split seams, rips, or
excessive wear. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses
are clear. The seat is not worn in the typical spot on the driver's
bolster. The carpet is also in good condition with no stains,
holes, or rips. This includes the rear carpet, which is often
neglected. The dash and console look great with no cracks or sun
fading. The door panels are in nice shape overall; there are no
cracks in the typical spot where the driver's elbow sits. The door
pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console look great with no
cracks or sun fading. The original radio works well and gets good
reception. Most importantly, the dash has never been cut or
modified for an aftermarket installation. This Corvette has never
been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of
cigarettes
Corvette interiors from this era, especially for a convertible, are
not known to wear well and the excellent condition of this original
interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention
this car has received throughout its life.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The
car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It
drives great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video below
one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about
70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and
going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange
noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The
transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power-band. The brakes
are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other, which is a
very common issue with early C2 Corvettes. The car runs cool and
does not overheat. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully
clean and detailed as one can see in the photos.
The radio works as do all the exterior lights, dash lights
indicators, horn, wipers, and the blower for the heater on all
speeds. The headlights work and go up and down properly, which is a
very common problem on Mid Year Corvettes. The complete operation
of the headlights can be viewed in the video. All of the gauges
work with the obvious exception of the clock. As with many older
carbureted cars this Sting Ray is a bit cold blooded and there are
some occasional rattles and clunks. Not enough can be said as to
how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the
top down on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1964 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible is in great
driver condition. Convertible examples in this year range are
drawing a nice premium over a standard Corvette Coupe. This
Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road.
Numbers matching is very important in Corvette pricing and as one
can see this car is very correct. There are photos below of the VIN
stamp on the engine block, suffix code, and engine assembly date.
This Sting Ray is a great value and we have it priced to sell.
Mid-year (C2) Corvettes are, and will continue to be, the most
collectable and desirable Corvette generation. The value of these
cars has gone up exponentially in recent years. They are all solid
and wise investments for a collector. While this is not an NCRS Top
Flight or Bloomington Gold car, it is a very nice driver quality
Corvette and a great car for the money. The previous owner believed
the mileage was original at 42,618 and that mileage seems
appropriate for the condition and patina on the car, but due to
previously being titled in a state that does not record mileage on
classic cars the title now shows nonactual mileage. One could
easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more
than the purchase price with minimal effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
