1964 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 4-Speed

Description

Introduced for 1963, the second‑generation Chevrolet Corvette marked a dramatic departure from earlier models, combining Bill Mitchell’s striking new design with improved chassis engineering and performance. For its sophomore year, the C2 Corvette gained a new rear window and saw some drivetrain improvements.

Originally ordered in Ermine White (936AA) with a red interior, this 1964 Corvette now features a dramatic black cabin installed prior to the seller's acquisition. Power comes from a numbers‑matching 327ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Since acquiring this Corvette in 2021, the seller has replaced steering, suspension, and braking components, as well as the battery.

This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is now offered with recent service records and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.
