A true custom, American classic, this 1964 Corvette is full of 1970s character. The list of cool period modifications on this car is numerous, highlighted by changes made to the body. The wheel openings have all been enlarged, radiused, and flared in the rear. The front headlight openings and seams have been filled and smoothed, the front bumpers deleted, and the tail panel has been reworked to include a ducktail spoiler. This 1964 Corvette is also fitted with a functional Stinger hood and red-painted removable hardtop. A factory soft top convertible frame is with the car that also requires new material. The look is complete with chrome aftermarket side pipes and Cragar SS wheels wrapped with Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires.
