This exceptional 1964 Chevrolet Corvette is a rare, one-owner, all-original survivor with only 51,556 miles on the clock, making it a true collector's dream. Preserved in its factory color and specs, this Sting Ray features the iconic convertible design from the C2 generation with optional hard top, known for its sleek, aggressive styling and impressive performance. The original *Ermine White* paint has aged gracefully, showcasing the car's authenticity and character over the past six decades. The paint, while showing some patina, has been well maintained, adding to the car's vintage charm. Complementing the exterior are the original knock-off style wheels and added side-exit exhaust pipes, which enhance the aggressive stance of this American classic.
Under the hood is the original *327 cubic inch V8* engine, factory-rated at 300 horsepower. This high-revving, small-block V8 was a powerhouse of its time, offering a perfect balance between power and weight. The engine remains untouched, with its factory finishes and components intact, including the correct Rochester four-barrel carburetor. Despite some surface rust and signs of age, the engine bay maintains its originality, offering an ideal platform for restoration or preservation, depending on the buyer's preferences, but does feature an modern day, working AC. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an automatic. The gearbox shifts smoothly and pairs perfectly with the potent V8 engine, making this Corvette a joy to drive for those who appreciate vintage American muscle.
The interior is a striking contrast to the white exterior, featuring an all-original *red vinyl interior*. The bucket seats, finished in rich red, have been well-preserved with nearly no signs of wear, reflective of the car’s low mileage. The dashboard, gauges, and controls are all original, offering a glimpse into the technological and design language of the mid-1960s. All are functional minus the clock and temp gauge. The three-spoke steering wheel and chrome accents provide an authentic vintage feel, further enhanced by the original radio and center console, complete with the classic Corvette shifter.
Other notable features include:
- *Independent rear suspension*, introduced in 1963, providing improved handling and ride comfort.
- *Four-wheel drum brakes*, the standard braking system of the time.
- The original *AM/FM radio* still functional, another indicator of its untouched, original condition.
This Corvette comes with all original copy of the title. The car has been stored in a climate-controlled environment for most of its life, which explains the remarkably preserved interior and relatively low wear on the exterior. Overall, this 1964 Corvette is an exceptional example of a classic American sports car, combining desirable factory specifications, original components, and a well-preserved condition. The fact that it’s a one-owner vehicle with a manual transmission only adds to its rarity and value, making it an extraordinary find for any Corvette enthusiast or classic car collector.
*NOTE: This car does not include a soft top or frame for a soft top.
