Vehicle Description
A true custom, American classic, this 1964 Corvette is full of
1970s character. The list of cool period modifications on this car
is numerous, highlighted by changes made to the body. The wheel
openings have all been enlarged, radiused, and flared in the rear.
The front headlight openings and seams have been filled and
smoothed, the front bumpers deleted, and the tail panel has been
reworked to include a ducktail spoiler. This 1964 Corvette is also
fitted with a functional Stinger hood and red-painted removable
hardtop. A factory soft top convertible frame is with the car that
also requires new material. The look is complete with chrome
aftermarket side pipes and Cragar SS wheels wrapped with Cooper
Cobra Radial GT tires.

include an Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum intake manifold topped
with a Holley carburetor, Holley valve covers, and exhaust headers
that exit the side pipes. The front brakes have been upgraded to
later factory-style discs. The steering and brakes are manual, as
expected from a custom Corvette of this era. Full of patina and
character, this time-warp custom Corvette is a unique and
interesting piece of the history of custom car culture.
