1964 Chevrolet Corvette - Bloomington Gold Award-Winning -
Riverside Red - 365hp
In 1964, the second year of the C2 generation, Chevrolet placed
renewed focus on the ride quality and refined performance of the
Corvette. The '64 model received a single-pane back window -
eliminating the polarizing split window of 1963 - while losing the
simulated air intakes on its hood and gaining a genuinely
functional air intake on the left rear pillar. Chevrolet took
significant strides to improve the comfort of the Sting Ray's ride
without diminishing its performance credentials, adding
progressive-rate springs and completely redesigned shocks. With
additional sound insulation and revised body and transmission
mounts, the 1964 model became a Corvette that would not only
perform at the highest level but also serve as a genuinely usable
daily driver - a meaningful advancement that resonated with buyers
at the time and continues to make the '64 one of the most enjoyable
C2s to own today.
This 1964 Corvette represents the absolute finest in restoration
and collectability. The result of a comprehensive frame-off
restoration of an original numbers-matching car - with the entire
focus placed on preservation of originality rather than
modification - the end result is nothing short of outstanding. The
quality of the work is proven definitively by the remarkable
collection of awards this car has earned in concours
competition.
The accolades are extraordinary: Bloomington Gold certification in
2022, multiple NCRS Top Flight awards, NCRS Performance
Verification, a coveted Zora Arkus-Duntov Award (one of the highest
honors in the NCRS judging system), a Muscle Car and Corvette
Nationals (MCACN) Concours award in 2022, and an MCACN Triple
Diamond Certification in 2022. Together, this collection of awards
places this '64 firmly in the upper echelon of restored Corvettes
anywhere in the country.
Finished in the quintessential Corvette Riverside Red with matching
hardtop, complemented by a white soft top and contrasting black
interior, this car presents flawlessly. Nothing has been
overlooked, from the smallest fastener to the most prominent body
panel - every detail meets the exacting standards required to earn
the awards this Corvette has won.
Power comes from the original 327ci/365hp solid-lifter V8 tied to
its 4-speed manual transmission - the dream drivetrain combination
for any serious C2 collector. This is undoubtedly one of the finest
'64s available on the market today.
