Awesome 1964 Corvette Convertible with 327 cu in/365 hp and Factory 4 Speed Transmission

My friend owns this incredible car and he has asked me to sell it for him. I have been fortunate in my life to own and drive corvettes since my first convertible in 1972. I currently have three vintage C1 and C2 Corvettes that are either restored or being restored. I fully understand every aspect of a vintage Corvette and can say that this car is sweet and is described below correctly.

This cool 1964 Corvette was built at the St Louis factory in May of 1964. It was originally shipped with Black and Pale Silver interior (491AE) and an exterior color of Satin Silver (940AA). It came with a 327 cu 365 HP engine and 4 speed transmission.

The car underwent its 1st restoration (about 20 years ago) the exterior color was changed from Satin Silver to Red. The interior was also changed from Black and Pale Silver to all Black and included new carpet, door panels and seat covers. Since the 1st restoration the driver's side seat cover, drivers side carpet and dash pad is showing some wear and is all that is needed to bring the interior back to perfect condition. The interior used in the 1st restoration is a high quality original style that is black and the carpets are 80/20 loop pile.

The car has recently been freshened up by it current owner (about 2 years ago) and received lots of new parts and trim, including a new White convertible top, new lining to the Hardtop, complete under the hood restoration, new tires, new carburetor and a fresh beautiful two stage base coat/clear coat Red paint job. With the exceptions mentioned above, the interior is an original type interior, it has some minor wear and tear (see photos) but with the exceptions noted, the interior is in very good shape.

The motor block in the car is not the correct numbers matching block. the original block spun a main bearing and it ruined the factory block, it was replaced with a 1968 vintage 327/300 hp corvette block. (block # 3782870 HE) The cars original 461 double hump fuel heads (3782461), aluminum (Winters) intake (3849804), new original type Holly Carburetor and the original tach drive distributor are all on the car.

The M21 Muncie 4 Speed transmission is original to the car. It shifts and runs smoothly with no noise of any kind. The shifter is a Hurst replacement shifter and is smooth shifting.

The car is equipped with the original exhaust manifolds and side pipes that sound very cool when you rumble down the streets.

This car runs very strong but drives and handles great, the cooling system keeps the car at the correct temperature and the oil pressure is great.

This car has been totally restored from ground up since its birth with just about everything on the car new or refurbished. The car is sitting on a perfect set of 15” Kelsey Hayes aluminum wheels with real knock offs (the brass dead blow hammer is included with the car). The tires are new Firestone with the narrow style white walls 15” X P215/70R.

The Paint on the car is very good and is a base coat/clear coat system, there are a couple slight imperfections, other than that the paint is perfect. The body is laser straight and all body lines align very well. There is new glass all the way around and all new weather stripping everywhere. According to the owners the car has never been in an accident and all body parts are original.

There is no rust on the frame or the frame components and everything about the car is solid. The car has the original console and all the gauges, lights, wipers, heater, Wonder Bar radio, speedometer and clock, and one of few cars that came with power windows, everything works flawlessly with the exception of the radio speaker, it rattles and needs a new one.

I have this car in my shop, have driven it several times and without a doubt it is one sweet driver and a very high quality C2 Corvette.

Finally, you normally find two kinds of vintage Corvettes, ones that have been treated rough and had substandard care and repairs and the ones that have been taken care of and received TLC their entire life.

I am offering a Baby here that has been taken very good care of all of its life and has been spoiled rotten.
