Introduced as part of the second-generation Corvette, the 1964 Chevrolet Corvette represented the continued refinement of the groundbreaking C2 platform first unveiled in 1963. Known as the Sting Ray, this generation marked a dramatic departure from earlier Corvettes, embracing independent rear suspension, sharper handling, and a more aggressive, aerodynamic design. The model had quickly matured into a well-balanced sports car that blended performance, style, and everyday usability in a way few American cars had achieved. At the heart of the 1964 Corvette lineup was Chevrolets robust and versatile 327-cubic-inch small-block V-8, offered in several states of tune. Among the most desirable was the 365-horsepower version. This engine delivered a strong, responsive performance, rewarding drivers with a thrilling exhaust note and impressive acceleration. Buyers could pair it with either a four-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience or an automatic for relaxed cruising. The 1964 Corvette also offered a wide array of options, allowing buyers to tailor the car to their preferences. Features such as power steering, power brakes, knock-off wheels, Positraction rear axle, and both removable hardtop and soft top configurations made each example unique. Today, the 365-horsepower Corvette stands as a quintessential expression of mid-1960s American performance, offering an ideal balance of power, drivability, and unmistakable style. A largely original example, this 1964 Corvette Convertible is finished in its original shade of Riverside Red over a black trimmed interior. While most of this example's history is unknown, the rear deck is pinned with a badge from Tom Harris Zionsville, indicating this Corvette has been a long-term resident of Indiana or was sold new in Indiana. A numbers-matching power plant, this example is equipped with a 327-cubic-inch engine that produces a desirable 365 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear via a four-speed manual transmission. A well-sorted, original, and enjoyable example that captures the essence of C2 Corvette performance with its numbers-matching 365-horsepower V-8 engine and four-speed manual transmission, it will be equally suited top up or down on a winding back road or straightaway. * Numbers-matching 327/365-HP engine and transmission * A largely original C2 example * Riverside Red over black interior and black soft top From the Kruse Auctions
