Just the highlights on this spectacular 1964 Corvette: matching-numbers 327,
4-speed manual transmission, and it's red. If you've been looking for a nice
Mid-Year Corvette, but not one of those six-figure investment machines that
crush bank accounts, this might be the smart choice.

Red is a passionate color, and there aren't many guys more passionate about
their hardware than Corvette owners. It's fitting that this car's Riverside Red
finish is correct, because nothing looks as good as a mid-year roadster in sizzling
bright red. You want attention, you'll get it in this fiberglass roadster, but you'll
be too busy grinning like an escaped convict to notice. Fit and finish were quite
well done several years ago and now showing a bit of age, which only means that
you'll drive this Corvette instead of hiding it in your garage. However, even up
close, you'll notice that all the little stuff is right: the headlights fit well, the door
gaps are decent, and the pleat that surrounds the body is crisp and almost sharp
enough to give you a paper cut. It looks like the hood might be a replacement
piece, but it fits well and only the experts will know for sure. C2s don't have a
lot of chrome, but everything on this car was professionally refinished, including
the bumpers and those ribbed rocker panel moldings that are the coolest thing
this side of, well, side pipes.

It also features a matching red interior, and when I say matching, I mean it's
so good that it's tough to tell where the fiberglass ends and the upholstery begins.
It was all new during the restoration, with reproduction seat covers, new carpets
and door panels, and a neatly refinished center console that was painted to match.
Corvette engineers gave you a full array of gauges, all of which have been expertly
restored in this car, including the somewhat optimistic 160 MPH speedometer
and correct 5500 RPM redline tach. This one also includes the unique Corvette
vertical radio, although this is a modern digital AM/FM unit. There's also a bright
white convertible top that you'll learn to stow easily in a matter of seconds, and
it seals up rather well.

The engine is the original, numbers-matching 327 cubic inch V8 rated at a nice,
round 300 horsepower. Rebuilt during the restoration, it runs beautifully today
with a cackling exhaust note and a big hit of torque at any speed. UP top there's
a modern Edelbrock intake manifold with a factory 4-barrel carburetor, but that's
the long deviation from stock. Other correct details include the chrome air cleaner
with correct decal, finned valve covers, and Chevy Orange paint on the block itself.
Ram's horn exhaust manifolds dump into a chambered dual exhaust system,
and as long as you're looking around under there, note the clean floors and
factory-spec suspension and brakes, so it drives like it should. Standard steel
wheels with spinner hubcaps were the default choice, with this car carrying
modern 15-inch Bridgestone whitewall radials.
