The second-generation Corvette, universally known as the Sting Ray, burst onto the scene in 1963 with a design that shattered expectations and redefined American sports car aesthetics. Penned by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda, its iconic split-window coupe and sleek convertible forms were a radical departure from the C1, drawing inspiration from Mitchell's own "Stingray" race car. The C2 brought independent rear suspension to the Corvette for the first time, significantly enhancing its handling prowess and cementing its status as a genuine world-class sports car. The 1964 model year saw the removal of the controversial split rear window, making the convertible an even more desirable and pure expression of the Sting Ray's revolutionary lines, with production numbers for the convertible hovering around 13,925 units for the year. This particular 1964 Sting Ray Convertible presents a truly remarkable narrative, having spent nearly five decades in slumber, tucked away in a garage from 1975 until its recent awakening in 2023. Showing a modest 37,674 miles on the odometer, this example is powered by a robust 350 CID V8 engine paired with a manual transmission, promising an engaging and authentic driving experience. Its unique history of prolonged storage and recent recommissioning adds an intriguing layer to its story, offering a glimpse into a time capsule that has only just been reopened. This is a rare chance to acquire a Corvette with a compelling history, ready for its next chapter on the open road.
