This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by an L75 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in red over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes a white convertible soft top, 15″ steel wheels, power-assisted brakes, power steering, an aftermarket air cleaner, a center console storage box, a fire extinguisher, a cupholder, an AM/FM radio, and concealed headlights. This C2 convertible was purchased by the seller in 2024 and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, a 2024 appraisal, and a Tennessee title.
The fiberglass body was originally finished in Tuxedo Black and has been refinished in red. Features include a replacement white convertible soft top as well as flip-up headlamps, fender vents, quad tail lamps, and chrome bumperettes. The seller notes blemishes and cracking in the paint.
Silver-finished 15” steel wheels are mounted with 205/75 Master Craft 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. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel power-assisted drums.
The cabin features two bucket seats that have been reupholstered in black leather as well as matching door panels and replacement carpets. Amenities include a heater, an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and an aftermarket center console with a cupholder. The seat belts have been removed and the clock does not work.
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 43k miles, 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 327ci V8 was rated at 300 horsepower when new and features a Carter carburetor and an aftermarket air cleaner.
The engine stamping includes sequence 3827369, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. The RD suffix corresponds with a 327ci, 300-horsepower V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
