The C2 second generation Chevrolet Corvette, also known as the Stingray, was produced from 1963 to 1967. Designed and engineered by Ed Cole, Bill Mitchell, Zora Arkus-Duntov and Larry Shinoda, the Stingray was inspired from the Jaguar E-type, the radical Stingray racer and the Mako Shark design study. The 1963 Corvette Stingray not only had a totally new design but also improved handling. The new model was somewhat lighter than the prior 1962 design, which explained faster acceleration despite the same engine output. With production numbers nearly equal between the convertible and coupe, nearly half the top-down versions were ordered with a removable hardtop. All 1963 versions saw 327 cu in engines with varying horsepower ratings.The 1964 Stingray made only evolutionary changes including front coil springs that went to variable rate, simulated air intakes removed from the hood, and a simulated wood steering wheel. Although drivetrain choices remained as the 63 but with optional higher output ratings coming in carbureted form of 365 hp and the fuel injected model at 375 hp.Presented is a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster in one of the most beautiful color combinations of black with red interior. The interior, despite being totally original is like new and the paint is gleaming with a very few minor flaws. Powered by the 327 cu in 300 hp motor with 4 speed transmission, this classic roadster also comes with factory hard top. A high end driver quality Sting Ray offered at a fair and reasonable reserve. Included are the factory 1964 wheels and tires.- Highly desired Black with Red interior- Stock and American Racing style wheels- 4 speed- 327/300 engine- Optional factory hardtop- Original wheels and tires included
