The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," burst onto the scene in 1963, a radical departure from its predecessor. With its sleek, sculpted lines penned by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, and a revolutionary independent rear suspension system, the C2 transformed the Corvette from a stylish cruiser into a true sports car contender. The 1964 model year saw refinements to the C2, including a slightly softened suspension for improved ride quality and the deletion of the controversial "split window" from the coupe, making it a more practical and visually cohesive design. These early C2s, particularly with their robust small-block V8 engines, cemented the Corvette's place in American performance lore and began its enduring legacy in motorsport. This particular 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe presents an extraordinary opportunity, having been personally owned and cherished by legendary NASCAR driver Ken Schrader since 1997. Offered for sale for the first time in three decades directly from Schrader's esteemed collection, this numbers-matching example boasts a potent 327 V8 engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, making it a joy to drive. With a mere 0 miles since its restoration, this highly optioned coupe gleams in its period-correct finish, a testament to its meticulous care and the impeccable celebrity racing pedigree it carries. This is a rare chance to acquire a significant piece of American automotive history with an unparalleled ownership provenance.
