PROVENANCE & PROJECT STATUS

Sourced from a long-term caretaker who owned and cherished the vehicle since 1973.

The previous owner was methodically prepping the car for paint, having already beautifully completed the interior and engine bay.

The frame is excellent and completely solid throughout, and the exterior fiberglass is remarkably straight and smooth.

Currently finished in white, a final professional paint job back to its rare and highly desirable factory Tuxedo Black will undoubtedly take this solid, numbers-matching Corvette to the absolute next level of investment-grade collectability.

A major highlight of this sale is the inclusion of the highly desirable factory removable hardtop. It is in great condition with very nice original back glass, and has already been sanded down in preparation for the final repaint.

ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN

Powered by its original, numbers-matching L75 327ci / 300hp V8 and numbers-matching 4-speed manual transmission, with the VIN correctly stamped on both the engine block and transmission casing.

The engine block stamping reads F05IIRD (F0511RD), decoding perfectly: Flint, Michigan plant, May 11th build date, and the "RD" suffix strictly designating the coveted L75 327ci / 300hp V8 paired with a manual transmission.

The car runs incredibly well and drives out nicely, retaining what we believe to be the original carburetor.

The engine bay is neatly detailed and features a new or rebuilt electric wiper motor.

Please Note: The car runs and drives well, but the brakes will need to be bled before hitting the road. All brake components are present and intact; the system simply sat for some time and leaked fluid.

BODY & INCLUDED EXTRAS

We note some inner front fender seams that may indicate a historical front nose replacement, but the body lines and gaps look excellent.

A couple of loose parts were lightly dusted in white primer strictly for presentability during the prep process.

Please note the headlight motor actuators are not present, though the driver's side headlight surround is included.

A collection of spare and uninstalled parts is included with the sale: splash shields, rear spare tire carrier cover, and the chrome spark plug wire shields (currently boxed).

An original 1964 Corvette Owner's Guide and vintage brochure are also included.

INTERIOR & CABIN

The fully completed cockpit is outfitted with pristine white bucket seats, offering a striking and elegant contrast against the black center console and dashboard.

The factory instrumentation is intact, featuring a fully functional 160 MPH speedometer with the odometer reading 73,940 miles, a 7000 RPM tachometer, and a center-mounted analog clock that is fully functional-an absolute rarity that makes it either a true unicorn or carefully rebuilt at some point!

Entertainment is provided by a classic, vertically mounted Delco AM/FM radio.
