The second-generation Corvette, affectionately known as the C2 Sting Ray, burst onto the scene in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, its iconic split rear window (for 1963 only) and revolutionary independent rear suspension instantly cemented its place in automotive history. The C2 brought a level of sophistication and performance previously unseen in an American sports car, offering a range of potent V8 engines and a driving experience that rivaled the best Europe had to offer. The 1964 model year, while losing the split window, refined the formula, selling over 22,000 units and further solidifying the Sting Ray's legend as a true American icon. This stunning 1964 Corvette Sting Ray Roadster exemplifies the C2's enduring appeal, tastefully updated for modern enjoyment. Under the hood lies a Chevrolet Performance ZZ3 350 cubic inch V8 crate engine, producing a robust 345 horsepower, fed by a performance four-barrel carburetor and ignited by an MSD electronic system. Power is expertly managed by a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter, sending power to a 4.10 independent posi-rear end. Handling is sharpened with Borgeson quick-ratio power steering, Wilwood power front disc brakes, and Bilstein shocks, while the car rides on 15-inch cast aluminum knock-off wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Finished in a vibrant Torch Red with a black canvas convertible top, the exterior is complemented by a black leather bucket seat interior, a wood-trim steering wheel, and modern conveniences like Vintage A/C and an upgraded Vintage car audio AM/FM radio. Showing just 3,487 miles since its refresh, this Corvette seamlessly blends classic style with enhanced performance and comfort. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously upgraded C2 Sting Ray, ready to deliver an exhilarating open-air driving experience.
