The second-generation Corvette, universally known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," burst onto the scene in 1963, a radical departure from its C1 predecessor. Designed by Larry Shinoda and penned under the direction of Bill Mitchell, the C2 introduced an independent rear suspension – a first for Corvette – dramatically improving handling and ride quality. Its iconic split-window coupe for 1963, though short-lived, cemented its legendary status, and the model quickly became a symbol of American automotive power and style. With engines ranging from modest small blocks to fearsome big blocks, the C2 Sting Ray dominated both road and track, captivating a generation with its blend of sharp styling and potent performance. This stunning 1964 Corvette Convertible, a prime example of the C2's enduring appeal, presents in a vibrant Torch Red finish, perfectly complementing its aggressive lines. Under the hood lies a potent Chevrolet Performance ZZ3 350 V8 crate engine, delivering a robust 345 horsepower through aluminum cylinder heads and a performance 4-barrel carburetor. Power is managed by a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, featuring a crisp Hurst shifter, sending power to a 4.10 independent posi rearend. Enhancements like Borgeson quick-ratio power steering and Wilwood power front disc brakes modernize the driving experience, while Bilstein shocks and 15-inch cast aluminum knock-off wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires ensure a confident stance. With just 3,487 miles showing, this meticulously updated Sting Ray offers an exhilarating blend of classic aesthetics and contemporary performance, ready for its next enthusiast owner.
