The C2 Corvette, or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its C1 predecessor, ushering in an era of sophisticated American sports car design and performance. Penned by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda, with Zora Arkus-Duntov's engineering prowess, the C2 introduced independent rear suspension, a significant handling upgrade, and a sleek, sculpted fiberglass body that remains iconic. The 1964 model year saw subtle refinements, including a simplified hood with fewer simulated vents and a revised instrument panel, making it a highly desirable iteration within the C2's brief but impactful five-year production run. This generation solidified the Corvette's place as America's true sports car, competing on the world stage with a blend of style and raw power. This particular 1964 Corvette convertible presents as a truly special find, boasting a factory Tuxedo Black exterior—a rare and coveted color—perfectly complemented by a striking red interior. Under the hood lies a potent 350 cubic inch engine, rated at 350 horsepower, paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission, offering a classic American driving experience. With just 37,000 miles on the odometer, this garage-kept example retains its factory power steering, power brakes, power windows, and the unmistakable rumble of factory side pipes. While it runs, the seller notes it could benefit from carburetor work to bring it to its full potential. This C2 represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a beautifully specified and well-preserved piece of Corvette history.
