1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible LS3 5-Speed - Award-Winning
Riverside Red Restomod
The 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible carried forward the
second-generation "Sting Ray" legacy with sharper styling, improved
handling, and true performance credibility. This particular car
takes that heritage significantly further. Behind its classic
Riverside Red paint and white soft top, it hides a modern,
dyno-tuned 6.2L LS3 V8 and Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission,
delivering an estimated 550 horsepower while preserving the
timeless C2 look and feel.
Well-sorted and tastefully upgraded over many years, and owned by
the same enthusiast since 2008, this Corvette blends show-winning
presentation with real-world drivability. It even captured 1st
Place in the C2 class at Jerry's Chevrolet Auto Show in Baltimore,
Maryland in September 2025. Offered with extensive records and a
clean Maryland title in the seller's name (showing "not actual
mileage"), this LS3-powered C2 is an ideal choice for the buyer who
wants vintage style with serious modern performance.

Exterior
Finished in its factory-correct Riverside Red (code 923A), this
1964 Corvette Convertible presents with the iconic, aggressive

brightwork a clean, high-quality finish that complements the car's

stance, delivering both style and road confidence.
