Introduced as part of the second-generation Corvette, the 1964
Chevrolet Corvette represented the continued refinement of the
groundbreaking C2 platform first unveiled in 1963. Known as the
"Sting Ray," this generation marked a dramatic departure from
earlier Corvettes, embracing independent rear suspension, sharper
handling, and a more aggressive, aerodynamic design. The model had
quickly matured into a well-balanced sports car that blended
performance, style, and everyday usability in a way few American
cars had achieved. At the heart of the 1964 Corvette lineup was
Chevrolet's robust and versatile 327-cubic-inch small-block V-8,
offered in several states of tune. Among the most desirable was the
365-horsepower version. This engine delivered a strong, responsive
performance, rewarding drivers with a thrilling exhaust note and
impressive acceleration. Buyers could pair it with either a
four-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving
experience or an automatic for relaxed cruising. The 1964 Corvette
also offered a wide array of options, allowing buyers to tailor the
car to their preferences. Features such as power steering, power
brakes, knock-off wheels, Positraction rear axle, and both
removable hardtop and soft top configurations made each example
unique. Today, the 365-horsepower Corvette stands as a
quintessential expression of mid-1960s American performance,
offering an ideal balance of power, drivability, and unmistakable
style. A largely original example, this 1964 Corvette Convertible
is finished in its original shade of Riverside Red over a black
trimmed interior. While most of this example's history is unknown,
the rear deck is pinned with a badge from Tom Harris Zionsville,
indicating this Corvette has been a long-term resident of Indiana
or was sold new in Indiana. A numbers-matching power plant, this
example is equipped with a 327-cubic-inch engine that produces a
desirable 365 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear via a
four-speed manual transmission. A well-sorted, original, and
enjoyable example that captures the essence of C2 Corvette
performance with its numbers-matching 365-horsepower V-8 engine and
four-speed manual transmission, it will be equally suited top up or
down on a winding back road or straightaway. * Numbers-matching
