The second generation Corvette, known as the C2, burst onto the scene in 1963 with the revolutionary Sting Ray design, penned by Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock under the guidance of Bill Mitchell. Its iconic hidden headlamps, sharp creases, and boat-tail rear defined a new era for American sports cars, moving beyond the more traditional styling of the C1. The 1964 model year saw subtle refinements, including a revised hood without the previous year's faux vents and a slightly softer suspension tune, cementing its status as a more polished, yet still aggressive, performer. This generation is particularly revered for its potent small-block V8 options and its undeniable presence, a true icon of 1960s American automotive design and engineering. This particular 1964 Corvette convertible presents a compelling blend of classic aesthetics and thoughtful modernization. While its original color was GM 916 Daytona Blue, it now wears an attractive Marina Blue finish, complementing its recently replaced convertible top. Under the hood, a rebuilt 350 cubic-inch V8, now producing an estimated 325 horsepower, sends power through a rebuilt Powerglide automatic transmission to a rebuilt rear end. The drivetrain components have accumulated approximately 15,000 miles since their refresh. Enhancing both safety and performance, the original drum brakes have been upgraded to discs at all four corners, while factory power steering ensures an effortless driving experience. Inside, the cabin has been meticulously renewed with replaced carpet, door panels, dash pad, visors, and seats, all presenting in excellent condition. Further distinguishing this C2 are its two-year-old tires and custom rims, rechromed front and rear bumpers, and a factory 1967 hood adorned with 427 emblems, hinting at a more potent lineage. An aftermarket AM/FM cassette player provides a period-appropriate touch to the entertainment. This is a meticulously maintained and tastefully upgraded example, ready for its next enthusiast owner.
