It is one of just 1,325 Corvettes produced with Rochester fuel injection that model year and, it is estimated, one of fewer than 100 Fuelie convertibles finished in Tuxedo Black. The year 1964 was the penultimate for the Rochester fuel-injected L84 327 CI engine, which Chevrolet phased out in mid-1965 to make way for the new generation of Mark IV big-block engines. The Rochester fuel-injection system was one of Zora Arkus-Duntovs major contributions in redefining the Corvette from a stylish but rudimentary boulevardier to a serious performer. An early advocate of fuel injection, Chevrolet Chief Engineer Ed Cole assigned Arkus-Duntov to work with the engineering staffs John Dolza on its development. By 1955, it was Arkus- Duntovs chief assignment, which he performed with such secrecy that Cole made sure it was hidden from GM budget management. At 283 HP, the first production Fuelie Corvettes made headlines in 1957, when they were advertised as the first to produce 1 HP per cubic inch. By 1964, the small-block V-8 displaced 327 CI and, with the benefit of years of development, produced well in excess of its advertised 375 HP. A 1964 L84-equipped Corvette was by any measure the standard of high performance, not to mention it was one of the best-looking machines on the road: case in point, this arresting triple black Sting Ray convertible comprehensively restored in 2018 with new paint, a new interior and soft top, new chrome and new blackwall tires. A factory code-900 Tuxedo Black car optioned with Soft Ray-tinted glass, a standard black interior, 4-speed manual transmission, power brakes, Delco AM/FM radio and finned- aluminum knock-off wheels, this rare Fuelie convertible is documented with the car shipper, order form, dealer invoice, sale contract and letters of correspondence between previous owners.
