This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was refurbished after the current owner’s 2008 acquisition, and it was repainted in red with a matching hardtop and a black soft top. Rebuilds on the 327ci V8 and four-speed manual transmission were commissioned in 2016 and 2022, respectively, and further equipment includes a Holley carburetor, a side-outlet exhaust system, flip-up headlights, chrome bumperettes, 15″ turbine-style wheels, drum brakes, and power steering. The cabin is outfitted with black vinyl upholstery, a heater, a cueball shift knob, and an AM/FM radio. This C2 convertible is offered on dealer consignment with service records, refurbishment photos, and a Mississippi title.
The fiberglass body left the factory finished in Ermine White (936) and was refinished in red during the refurbishment. Details include a black soft top, a body-color hardtop, flip-up headlights, fender vents, and a side-outlet exhaust system with heat shields. Photos of the soft top in the raised position are provided in the gallery.
The 15″ turbine-style wheels are mounted with Cooper Trendsetter SE white-stripe tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl and are joined by color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a heater, a cueball shift knob, and an AM/FM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline along with gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci V8 was rebuilt in October 2016 by Dorr’s Automotive in Louisiana, and it was painted orange and black before being reinstalled. It is equipped with a Holley 4160 carburetor and a chrome air cleaner lid and ignition cover. Distributor repairs were completed in 2019, and insulation was applied to the firewall in July 2021.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt in July 2022.
