Vehicle Description
This gorgeous custom 1964 Chevrolet Corvette 327/365 convertible
was beautifully restored with many upgrades. As the original VIN
and Trim Tag indicate, this car was built in St. Louis, MO, on
September 9, 1963. It's considered an early-built '64 model. A
total of 22,229 Corvettes were produced in 1964, of which 13,925
were convertibles. This car is one of only 2,785 total Corvettes
painted in Satin Silver. This car is also one of only 7,171 total
Corvettes with the "L76" 327/365hp engine. This car was found in
very good original condition by a gentleman who lives in Johnson,
RI. His vision was to create his own masterpiece with some discreet
cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. He wanted to keep the factory
appearance and original color combination, along with the original
matching-numbers engine. The car was the product of a documented
body-off restoration that was completed in 2016. Many NOS parts and
trim pieces were used during the build. Since completion the car
has been treated with the best of care and only driven to car shows
such as the well-known "Corvettes by the Sea," where it earned
"Best of C2 Class" in 2017. The award is not included for
sentimental reasons. The exterior of this Corvette is simply
stunning to say the least. The body is very straight and the gap
lines are excellent. The car was refinished in its original color
of Satin Silver, which looks amazing. The show-quality paint was
recently detailed to a high level. The hood bulge was painted
black, which looks sharp. It was outfitted with a new black
convertible soft-top that is easy to operate. The front windshield
was replaced new and the entire original factory-stamped side glass
is in very good condition. Everything on the exterior was restored
or replaced, such as the glass trim, wipers, grille, front bumper,
door handles, rear bumper and emblems. The car sits on new 15-inch
turbine-style bolt-on wheels with spinner center caps. The wheels
are wrapped with new Diamondback 215-70-15 red line tires that were
added in September 2023. The attention to details continues with
the fresh interior, which was refinished in its original color of
black. Everything in the interior was restored or replaced, such as
the rearview mirror, dash, gauges, steering column, steering wheel,
door sills, door panels, center console, pedals and carpeting. The
bucket seats were upholstered in premium leather for extra
comfortability. Some additional interior features include power
windows, a Vintage Air system, a custom Autosound system with
Alpine speakers and cup holders. The rear cargo area behind the
seats was covered with new carpeting. The engine compartment is
highly detailed throughout with many new parts. The car is powered
by its original matching-numbers "L76" 327/365hp V8 engine. The
engine was completely rebuilt and runs excellent. The engine is
dressed with polished valve covers and chrome accessories and is
cooled by a new radiator. The engine breathes through factory
manifolds and side pipes with a correct-style exhaust. The engine
is coupled to a BorgWarner T5 5-speed manual transmission that was
rebuilt and shifts smoothly. The power is transferred to the
rebuilt posi-traction rear end with 3.55 gears. The undercarriage
is also highly detailed and the frame was painted black. It's
equipped with power steering and power 4-wheel disc brakes.
Everything was restored or replaced, such as the fuel system,
lines, bearings, bushings and wiring harness. This car drives
excellent and draws a ton of attention. This car was recently
serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's
included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
