1964 Corvette C2 Stingray Cabriolet

Basic information and History

The Corvette is a model with a very long history, it is considered America's first sports car and has always been a very sought-after model on the market. The C2 generation was a big upgrade compared to the C1 where the driving characteristics were the biggest difference. This 1964 year model was imported to Sweden in 2021 from the USA and the seller is the only owner in Sweden.

The car is equipped with a newer V8 350 cui of 300 hp with a four-port Holley carburettor and has a 4-speed manual transmission with a comfortable and easy-to-drive clutch and tight gear positions. Generally speaking, it is a really neat and nice car that stands out as all black with a discreet, stylish red pinstripe. There is also a lot of documentation on maintenance from over the years


Condition

Exterior: The seller says that the car is in very good used condition on the outside apart from a couple of minor marks that are documented in the album. It has a nice glossy black paint with painted red pinstripes. Rally Wheels with center cover and snob ring with 225-70-15 Red-Line tires with approx. 7 mm tread depth. The car has been repainted on some previous occasion but the date is unknown. During inspection -21, under "Good to know" some rust was noted on the rear mounts. This relatively simple repair has already been addressed on the left side but not the hay. Glass parts, moldings, emblems and chrome have no remarks. The roof is in very nice and fully functional condition and has always been stored with the roof up and is free of damage, cracks or marks.

Interior: The really nice original interior is apparently in fine condition and without major complaints. The black interior contrasts really well with the paint and the combination is just the icing on the cake. The instrument panel is free of cracks or major signs of sun fading but has a couple of marks around the glove box. The controls are apparently original controls in fine condition with a little patina. All gauges and other functions in the interior are in a good and working condition and there is a retro stereo in the car with extra speakers and CD changer. Meter setting cannot be guaranteed. For more info on exact condition, see our detailed photos in the album and feel free to ask questions in the comments!


Mechanics: The seller informs that the entire driveline including engine, gearbox and rear axle works great and runs really well on the road. As can be seen, the engine has been well maintained and had many parts replaced over the years. The last service was carried out in 2022 by the seller himself and there is no service book. The car runs straight and fine on the road and all brakes are in good condition. The original wheels are very nice and the tires have about 6mm of tread left. A very easy-to-drive and nice car! Inspection exempt and tax exempt. Please see all the photos in the album.


Summary

A really popular classic in a very nice condition. It's a really beautiful American pony car that works just as well on curvy country roads as it does on a cruise around town and attracts attention wherever you go! Refurbished specimens in unique colors like this do not grow on trees and if you are looking for a "turn-key" American convertible for the coming season, this is a fantastic opportunity.
