This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was sold new from Rosenthal Chevrolet of Arlington, Virginia, and it earned NCRS Regional and National Top Flight awards as well as the NCRS Duntov award in the early 1990s. The car was reportedly refinished in Ermine White under prior ownership, and the interior was trimmed in red vinyl. Power is provided by a 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and equipment includes a removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, 15″ steel wheels, a Positraction differential, an AM/FM radio, and concealed headlights. This C2 convertible was purchased by the seller in 2023 and is now offered with service records, photos of awards, and a clean Florida title.
The fiberglass body was reportedly refinished in Ermine White under prior ownership and features a removable hardtop and a white soft top as well as flip-up headlamps, fender vents, quad tail lamps, and chrome split bumpers.
Steel 15” wheels wear spinner-style hubcaps and are mounted with 6.70-15″ BFGoodrich Silvertown thin-whitewall 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 cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in red vinyl color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a heater, an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and lap belts.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 11k miles.
The 327ci L76 V8 was factory-rated at 365 horsepower and features an aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, finned valve covers, and a chrome air cleaner lid and ignition cover.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and an optional Positraction differential.
