There is something about slipping into a classic Corvette that seems to slow the world down just enough to enjoy the moment. This car is the sort that draws a crowd at lights and starts conversations at weekend drives, a blend of 1960s style and thoughtful modern updates that make it easy to live with. It remembers the era of sweeping lines and chrome while offering the comfort and performance many drivers now expect. If you want a driver-ready piece of American automotive history with updated power, consider this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod built with a Blueprint 383 stroker V8 and a 4-speed automatic transmission all dressed in factory correct Riverside Red.
Step inside and the interior greets you in rich factory correct red that reads like a proper restoration. The bucket seats are supportive and are now trimmed in leather. Fresh carpets and the dash present a tidy look with Classic Industries trim and added Velocity gauges that illuminate cleanly. Practical features include a tilt steering column, power windows, under-dash air conditioning vents, a smaller than stock leather wrapped steering wheel, and a Retro-style autosound radio with speakers and custom kick-panel mounting. Overall the cabin balances period character with usable modern conveniences.
Under the hood is a stout Blueprint Engines 383 cubic inch stroker V8 installed during the recent build and showing just over 2,300 miles since. Fuel delivery is handled by a Sniper EFI unit riding on an Edelbrock intake, while ignition improvements include an MSD distributor and coil. Cooling is upgraded with an aluminum radiator and dual electric fans and the accessory drive uses a modern serpentine setup. Headers feed the dual exhaust and the driveline connects to a 4-speed automatic 700R4 transmission that replaced the original Powerglide. Braking has been upgraded to power front discs with rear drums and power steering makes daily driving easier.
