1964 Satin Silver Corvette ConvertibleBeautiful and correct frame off restoration.Satin Silver w/Black interior, 327/300hp, Powerglide automatic transmission.The '64 was considered the "Rodney Dangerfield" of mid-year Corvettes. "It didn't get no respect!" Well, that reputation was completely undeserved. The '64 was and is a great Corvette! Because the '63 was such a huge success and the Split Window Coupe such a legend, it was as if the '64 was following up the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show! And the '65's... introduced 4-wheel disc brakes and the 396 big block. So, the '64's got a bit lost in the shuffle. However, these Corvettes were every bit as good, if not better than the previous years model. But as an unintended bonus, it's "no respect" status, gets you some of the best values to be had in a mid-year with the '64's!This great looking example was in the hands of the original owner's family since brand new! It was purchased at the legendary Harry Mann Chevrolet in Los Angeles on 8-26-64 and spent it's whole life right here in So. Cal! It underwent a complete, nut and bolt restoration a number of years ago retaining it's original drivetrain and is in beautiful condition throughout! Options include:327/300hp V-8.Powerglide automatic transmission.Power windows.Back-up lights.Silver painted Hard top.Black Soft top.am/fm radio.Whitewall radial tires.Coveted Harry Mann license plate frames.Also included are the original Sales Contract and Dealer Invoice as well as extensive service receipts, restoration receipts and restoration photos.The car is a fantastic driver that you could take anywhere!
