1964 Chevrolet Corvette

The 1964 Corvette moved beyond the split rear window and faux hood vents that defined the 1963 Coupe — making the ’64 distinct in its own right. Beneath the surface, suspension upgrades including variable-rate springs and recalibrated shocks improved both ride comfort and handling precision.

Every Corvette was equipped with a 327ci V8, and enthusiasts overwhelming favored the four-speed manual transmission as seen here, available in both wide- and close-ratio setups.

The 1964 Corvette appealed to both weekend cruisers and serious drivers, offering options including air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, and numerous color and trim combinations — ensuring each car reflected its owner’s style. Sales climbed to 22,229 units, with the Convertible leading the way as the most popular choice.

This California-based example is still powered by its numbers-matching 327ci V8, which is backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Originally Riverside Red with a black interior, it was refinished in black six years ago, and now wears gray leather upholstery. It rides on 15” knockoff wheels, has side pipes, and features both a black convertible top and a black auxiliary hard top.
