A distinctive color scheme, desirable small-block 4-speed drivetrain and low mileage constitute the central features of this very sharp 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. With engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov at the helm of the Corvette engineering team, the development of the second-generation Sting Ray proceeded apace after its 1963 model-year introduction. Arkus-Duntov had established the pattern of ongoing improvements early in the evolution of the first generation, and he knew that resting on the laurels generated by the 1963 model would arrest his campaign to continue refining the Corvette into the sophisticated performer he had long envisioned. The 1964 Corvette, therefore, represented the next development phase that had begun with approval of the 1963 models. It incorporated a host of refinements both inside and out that resulted in subtle improvements to appearance, ride quality, handling and performance. Removing the bright imitation hood grilles and substituting boldly styled new rocker-panel moldings eliminated some of the previous model’s visual clutter, aided by smoothly styled new wheel covers with radial cooling slots. Obvious interior revisions included wider seatbacks for improved support on longer trips, black gauge faces to reduce glare and a simulated wood-grain steering-wheel rim. The most significant improvements were felt rather than seen. Noise, vibration and harshness were addressed throughout, resulting in stiffer rear body panels to reduce resonance. Improved insulation and rubber body-mounting bushings further contributed to reducing road noise. Below decks, new progressive-rate springs and revised shock damping reduced low-speed ride harshness while maintaining Corvette’s outstanding high-speed handling and road holding. Optioned with the popular L75 327/300 HP small-block V-8 and Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible presents in the attractive grouping of Daytona Blue paint with a white soft top and desirable white-on-black interior. Soft Ray-tinted glass, an AM/FM radio and Goodyear white-stripe tires round out the list of features on this very attractive mid-year Corvette, which shows a mere 21,335 believed-original miles.
