LS3-Powered 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 5-Speed

Description

The 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible continued the evolution of the second-generation “Sting Ray,” introduced in 1963. This model year refined the groundbreaking design and engineering that had redefined American sports cars. The convertible offered open-air motoring with a sleek fiberglass body, hidden headlamps, and aggressive styling that captured the era’s performance spirit. With only 13,925 convertibles produced in 1964, this model remains a sought-after classic.

This 1964 Corvette stands out with a bright red finish and white convertible soft top, knock-off wheels, white vinyl interior, vibrant red carpet, and a walnut-grain steering wheel. While this C2 appears stock on the outside, a dyno-tuned 550-horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine sends power to the rear wheels through Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission and 4.11 geared posi-traction rear end. Other highlights include long tube headers, a larger radiator, power steering, front disc brakes, and more. 

This LS3-Powered 1964 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered with records associated with the upgrades, owner's manuals, and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name stating "not actual mileage."

Additional Information 

From the seller, “Over the 17 years that I have owned this Corvette, I have had nothing but extreme pleasure driving it on back roads and major highways. It handles extraordinarily well around curves or cruising. It has been garage kept and covered when not on the road. Whoever purchases this Vette will thoroughly enjoy it!”
