1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray

Description

Rare features, a nice presentation, and a ton of originality make this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible quite a nice find. Also, keep an eye out for rarity as you look over the paint, motor, and interior.

Saddle Tan is the perfect color for today's classic Corvette because the factory-correct color has a hint of sophistication. It also happens to be the rarest color of all the '64s. It has been given a professional respray later in life, and the body panels have good gaps and alignment. And the intricate bumpers are shining like mirrors. So you're likely to get complements on how the car looks even without telling people how rare it is. Plus, all the right details are in place, like the year-correct rocker panels, knock-off style wheels, badging, and the hood that's unique to the 1964 cars only. Plus, the tan folding roof not only fits snugly, but it looks terrific as a coordinating color against the paint.

Inside, the festival of tan continues. This is the factory-correct color, and most of it is suspected to be original. This gives the car an overall more sophisticated attitude. After all, if triple-black cars are the midnight cruisers, then this triple-tan car is a good guy's reward. And everything is exactly how you want it. The individual bucket seats feel comfortable; the cool vertical dial on the AM/FM radio is still cranking out tunes; and the three spoke steering wheel feels thin and grippy.

Under the hood is Chevy's famous 327 cubic-inch V8. It looks quite correct with the bright orange block, cursive script valve covers, and polished air topper and distributor shield. But more than just looking correct, the consignor says this is the original motor to the car. In fact, this one has originality, right down to the Carter four-barrel carburetor. He also believes the transmission is original, too. While it's very easy to upgrade this 250hp and Powerglide setup, we think this is something quite special as-is. After all, you're looking at a car with some of the rarest drivetrain options bundled together – and it's all believed to be original. And above all, it's a Corvette. So this sports car feels great on the road as the V8 sings through the dual exhaust, and the fully independent suspension handles like no other '60s classic out there.

This is the classic Sting Ray that offers more originality, distinction, and rarity than most others out there. It's the classic Corvette that's packaged as the perfect sophisticated cruiser. So if that sounds good to you, call today!
