1964 Chevrolet Corvette

1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible — L76 327/365, Matching Numbers, Bloomington Gold Survivor

The second-generation Corvette, known to collectors as the C2, arrived for 1963 as a complete redesign — the first since the car's introduction a decade earlier. It brought independent rear suspension, a stiffer ladder frame, and styling by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda that drew directly from Mitchell's Stingray racing car. For 1964, Chevrolet refined the formula. The controversial split rear window of the 1963 coupe was gone, the fake hood vents were opened up to actually function, and the suspension was retuned for a smoother, more controlled ride. The result was a car that drove as well as it looked.

Total 1964 Corvette production came to 22,229 units. Of those, 13,925 were convertibles. This particular 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray left the St. Louis assembly plant as a high-optioned, performance-focused convertible, and it has survived six decades in a condition that earned it Bloomington Gold recognition — one of the most respected authenticity certifications in the Corvette world. Bloomington Gold evaluators examine cars for correctness of parts, finishes, stampings, and date codes. Earning that recognition with the original drivetrain intact is a meaningful accomplishment, and it directly affects the car's long-term collectibility.

The VIN on this car decodes to confirm it is a 1964 Corvette convertible built at St. Louis, with a 327 cubic inch engine and a 4-speed manual transmission — all of which align with the documented, matching-numbers drivetrain present in the car today.
