1964 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 327/300 4-Speed

Description

The 1964 Corvette emerged from the shadow of its groundbreaking predecessor, shedding the split rear window and decorative hood vents of the 1963 Coupe while establishing a character all its own.

Underneath, refinements such as variable-rate springs and revised shock tuning delivered a smoother ride without sacrificing sharp handling. And under the hood sat Chevrolet’s proven 327ci V8, available with varying power ratings and accessories. Most buyers selected the four-speed manual transmission, available with either wide- or close-ratio gearing, making the Corvette equally at home on winding back roads or open highways.

Blending performance with comfort, the 1964 Corvette offered desirable features such as air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, and an extensive selection of colors and trim combinations. Its versatility appealed to casual cruisers and dedicated sports car lovers then, with midyear Corvettes considered halo classics today.

This example reportedly underwent refurbishment from 2013–2023, and is still powered by its numbers-matching, 300-horsepower 327ci V8, which is backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Originally Ermine White with a blue interior, it was refinished in PPG dark blue over dark blue leather upholstery during the overhaul. It rides on 15” knockoff wheels, has a front disc brake conversion kit, and features power steering, power brakes, and factory air conditioning components.

This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered by the selling dealer with various service records and a clean Oklahoma title.
