Chevrolet introduced the first Stringray in 1963, the 'Split Window' coupe. In the three model years following, the look remained basically the same, sans the 'split'. This fully restored 1964 Stringray coupe is a perfect example of the car that 'stole the show' in the mid '60s.

Chevrolet introduced the first Stringray in 1963, the ‘Split Window’ coupe. In the three model years following, the look remained basically the same, sans the ‘split’. This fully restored 1964 Stringray coupe is a perfect example of the car that ‘stole the show’ in the mid ’60s. Our owner has provided photos to show that the entire drivetrain is matching numbers and the engine block/trans case are stamped with last six digits of the VIN. The professional restoration of the exterior is superb and the Silver-Blue finish (original color) is accented with reproduction knock-off style alloy wheels and redline BFG Silvertown radial tires (factory wheels/hubcaps are included). The fully restored black leather interior is virtually perfect. (According to the trim code, the original interior was Medium Blue vinyl, so this was a total refurb.) There is an AM/FM radio, beautiful faux wood grain wheel, new windshield, new weather stripping and all gauges including the clock are functional. The 327/365hp motor was professionally rebuilt in 2015. This was a top performer in ’64 – only the fuelie, rated at 375hp, was more powerful (and temperamental). Every detail is factory including Corvette alloy valve covers, distributor w/gear-drive tach, rams-horn exhaust manifolds and chrome shielding. The motor is backed by the original Muncie 4-speed close-ratio transmission w/Muncie shifter and the differential coding indicates 3.70:1 performance gearing. The chassis features manual steering and power drum brakes. Suspension, brake and exhaust components have been renewed. If you are looking for a carefully restored Corvette C2, you need to inspect this Stingray – you will not be disappointed.
