Vehicle Description
This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was overhauled and
modified under prior ownership before being purchased by the
previous owner in October 2021. The body was removed from the frame
during the build and refinished in red, the frame was powder-coated
black, the seats and door panels were reupholstered in red leather,
and a 5.7-liter LS6 V8 from a C5 Z06 was installed. Other equipment
includes a five-speed Tremec manual transmission, a gray soft top,
side pipes, 18? Schott wheels, Z06 disc brakes, carbon-composite
springs, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, a clock, and a
Delco AM/FM radio. The brake and reverse lights have been repaired
and the ammeter was replaced under current ownership.
The fiberglass bodywork has is said to have been refinished in red
during the build by Warman Autoworks of Kaiser, Missouri, and
features a stinger-style hood with a silver accent, a gray soft
top, and side pipes. Z06 badges are affixed to the hood.
The 18? Schott wheels are mounted with Nitto NT555 tires, and the
four-wheel disc brakes are said to have been sourced from a late
model Z06 Corvette. The chassis is equipped with power-assisted
rack-and-pinion steering as well as carbon-composite front and rear
transverse monoleaf springs.
The seats, door panels, and armrest are said to have been shipped
to Germany for reupholstery in red leather with custom stitching.
Matching carpets cover the floors, and an analog clock and Delco
AM/FM radio are mounted in the center stack.
The red-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a
7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The seller notes that the
ammeter was replaced in preparation for the sale, and the other
gauges were adapted to work with the replacement powertrain. The
five-digit odometer shows 45k miles, approximately 450 of which
were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 5.7-liter LS6 V8 is said to have been sourced from a C5
Corvette Z06 and has been fitted with a carbon-look intake, striped
fuel rail covers, and aftermarket accessories. The seller notes the
battery was replaced and the crankcase oil was changed in
preparation for the sale.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed
manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
