An absolutely exceptional example of this original southern California beautifully
kept and completely accident free very rare 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray
Fastback Coupe with its original matching 327cid 300HP V8 engine and finished
in its original 'Saddle Tan' (Code 932) factory color paint with its original correct
'Saddle' vinyl (trim code 490L) interior and with standard options including

Power Brakes ($43)
Power Steering ($75)
Power Windows ($59)
PB AM/FM Radio ($176)
Tinted Glass ($16)
Back Up Lamps ($10)
670x15 4 Ply WSW ($31)

Odometer reads 42,446 miles. Car was in storage for many years and reportedly
by previous owners has original miles. Matching numbers 327/300 hp Engine.
Casting number 3782870. Powerglide automatic transmission. Dated CA
5/12/64, 3.36:1 rear end. Correct upper and lower ignition shielding and dual
snorkel air cleaner. Mostly correct under the hood. Fully detailed engine
compartment. Runs and drives great. Optioned with power steering, power
brakes, power windows and AM/FM radio. Paint code 932 A, Saddle Tan. One
repaint in two stage Base/Clear coat paint, which is in great condition with only
some very minor chip touch ups and imperfections. Very nice body with bonding
strips intact. Original chrome bumpers and stainless, which are in great driver
quality condition. Weather stripping is in great shape. Rust free and fully detailed
under carriage. Trim code 490L, Saddle Tan. Newer Leather seat covers. Newer
door panels. Original headliner is in great condition. Original dash pads which
look like new. Carpet is in good condition. Factory gauges and shifter. Radial
white stripe tires with factory wheels and hubcaps. Great and easy driving car.
Rare find.

The car was purchased new at 'Harry Mann Chevrolet' of Los Angeles, CA on
11/27/1964 and has recently come out of long term storage from its long time
southern California owners along with some documented history and pictures
including original California registrations and will be sold with its original owner's
manuals. It is a very striking and seemingly completely accident and obviously
rust-free car and looks extremely impressive in its professionally repainted
original 'Saddle Tan' (#932 Color Code, 1 of only 1,765 in this color) factory
color paint with its original matching 'Saddle' (#490L Trim Code) reupholstered
leather interior in exceptional condition throughout. The car is all original and
numbers matching including its original matching #'s 327/300HP V8 'SD' suffix
code engine (correct code for every 327/300HP, AT, car matched to its correct
casting # 3782870) and its original Powerglide automatic transmission.

This is one very rare and un-abused and unrestored examples of one of the
best styling efforts of the decade, a genuine grand touring car in every sense of
the word, this shortest lived Corvette design (1963-67) is probably the most
sought after apart from the 1953-1957 models and is increasing in value and
desirability each year!

This particular original California car has just come out of long time ownership
and drives very well and is an all original matching #'s example with desirable
factory options including power brakes, power steering, power windows and the
rarely ordered Powerglide Transmission which is highly sought after by some
and is sure to prove a most worthy investment or simply a great daily driver
for any Corvette enthusiast or classic American car enthusiast!
