Vehicle Detail
1964 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Roadster/Convertible This is the quintessential driver quality C2 Corvette Roadster! Beautiful color combination that demands attention everywhere it goes. I purchased the car from a older gentleman earlier this year who was moving to Nevada and was unable to bring the car with him. He had owned the car for the past 20years. If he was lucky he was able to put on a few hundred miles on in a year. I have had the opportunity to drive the car this year and put on well over 2,500+ miles. From cruises in town to 4-5hour round trips to Door County Wisconsin the car has never let me down. I am reluctant to sell it however another classic car has gained my interest and I simply do not have the garage space for the both of them. ENGINE: The engine is known to be a factory replacement 327ci. The casting #'s match a 62'-67' 327. As for the rest of the engine compartment it has aluminum intake manifold and valve covers. Most other engine components are original type. The engine compartment is clean and well serviced. I do have receipts for the engine being rebuilt by a classic car restoration shop in 2008 about 5-6k miles ago. TRANSMISSION: 4-speed manual Muncie transmission with hurst shifter.SUSPENSION: The suspension is solid and claimed to be in very-good un-restored condition. Suspension components for the most part are original. This was very important to me and I had the car inspected prior to me purchasing it for peace of mind. No worries here!As for the rest of the car the major interior parts carpets, seats, and door panels are in very good condition. The gauges, radio, glove box, dash, seat belts, and trim all fit well. The original clock is hidden behind a cover. The clock could use a rebuild and some tlc. The radio is inoperative and I have not addressed that issue. All gauges work to my knowledge with the exception of the gas gauge. It has a tendency to read half or 3/4's when it's full and correct at certain times. The gas tank itself is relatively new and is able to burn pump 91/93 premium fuel. The exterior of the car is very presentable and grabs attention with the tan interior combination. For the most part there is no spider cracking or major imperfections. There is scratch or knick here or there however the paint is in overall good condition for its age. Chrome also is in good condition with little to no oxidization and normal pitting. There is a painted to match hardtop that compliments the car very nicely. The hardtop is in good shape and fits fairly well. One could replace weather-strips down the road for better fitment however this didn't bother me. One of my favorites is the tan soft-top. The soft-top is in excellent shape and was recently replaced including all new hardware, nuts & bolts. Overall this is not your frame-off restoration 6 figure car. This isn't uncle Bobby's race modified corvette either. Bottom line this is the perfect car to drive to church, go for ice cream, cruise up north or take to a classic car show. I have done my best to describe the car in all honesty and I encourage you to inspect the car prior to bidding if you are able to do so.
