1964 Chevrolet Corvette

1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - Matching Numbers 327/250hp - Rare 3-Speed Manual Offered here is a truly special 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, a matching-numbers example powered by the original 327/250hp V8 paired with its factory 3-speed manual transmission-one of only 711 Corvettes built in 1964 with the base 3-speed gearbox, making it a very rare configuration. This Corvette has been in the care of just two owners since new, remaining in the same family since 1965. Well-preserved and largely original, it has benefited from careful stewardship, retaining its character and authenticity while presenting beautifully for a car of its vintage. The 1964 model year marked a number of design refinements for the second-generation Corvette. The distinctive split rear window of 1963 was replaced by a single-piece glass panel, and faux hood vents were removed, though the sculpted indentations remained-making the 1964 hood a one-year-only design. A total of 13,925 convertibles were produced that year, but just 711 with the 3-speed manual, positioning this example among the rarest of its production run. With its matching-numbers drivetrain, rare transmission, and remarkable two-owner history, this Corvette offers collectors the best of both worlds: originality, rarity, and pedigree. The mostly original lacquer paint and period-correct components add authenticity, while thoughtful updates like new seat covers ensure comfort and presentation. Whether displayed at shows, added to a serious collection, or simply enjoyed on the open road, this 1964 Riverside Red Corvette Convertible embodies the timeless spirit of America's sports car. A rare, well-documented, and highly desirable Corvette that represents an exceptional opportunity for discerning collectors.
