1964 Chevrolet Corvette - Bloomington Gold Award-Winning - Riverside Red - 365hp
In 1964, the second year of the C2 generation, Chevrolet placed renewed focus on the ride quality and refined performance of the Corvette. The '64 model received a single-pane back window - eliminating the polarizing split window of 1963 - while losing the simulated air intakes on its hood and gaining a genuinely functional air intake on the left rear pillar. Chevrolet took significant strides to improve the comfort of the Sting Ray's ride without diminishing its performance credentials, adding progressive-rate springs and completely redesigned shocks. With additional sound insulation and revised body and transmission mounts, the 1964 model became a Corvette that would not only perform at the highest level but also serve as a genuinely usable daily driver - a meaningful advancement that resonated with buyers at the time and continues to make the '64 one of the most enjoyable C2s to own today.
This 1964 Corvette represents the absolute finest in restoration and collectability. The result of a comprehensive frame-off restoration of an original numbers-matching car - with the entire focus placed on preservation of originality rather than modification - the end result is nothing short of outstanding. The quality of the work is proven definitively by the remarkable collection of awards this car has earned in concours competition.
The accolades are extraordinary: Bloomington Gold certification in 2022, multiple NCRS Top Flight awards, NCRS Performance Verification, a coveted Zora Arkus-Duntov Award (one of the highest honors in the NCRS judging system), a Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) Concours award in 2022, and an MCACN Triple Diamond Certification in 2022. Together, this collection of awards places this '64 firmly in the upper echelon of restored Corvettes anywhere in the country.
Finished in the quintessential Corvette Riverside Red with matching hardtop, complemented by a white soft top and contrasting black interior, this car presents flawlessly. Nothing has been overlooked, from the smallest fastener to the most prominent body panel - every detail meets the exacting standards required to earn the awards this Corvette has won.
Power comes from the original 327ci/365hp solid-lifter V8 tied to its 4-speed manual transmission - the dream drivetrain combination for any serious C2 collector. This is undoubtedly one of the finest '64s available on the market today.
