About Chevrolet's Second Generation Corvette Model:
In the pantheon of noteworthy automobiles, there have been few ever produced which have proven as significant or as collectable as the mid-year Chevrolet Corvettes. And among them, the 1964 Corvette Hi-Perf L76 365 horsepower, 4-speed roadster is quickly becoming one of the most desirable and most rapidly appreciated examples available on the collector car market today. This special Chevrolet 327ci V8 was equipped with a hi-lift mechanical camshaft & lifters and Holley carburetion, while still delivering stirring performance on the road providing just 10 less horsepower than the fabled L84 Fuelie option. And because a big block was not yet available in 1964, this special performance engine offered a perfect compromise for sports car buyers not wanting to fork out the extra $431 for the sometimes finicky fuel injection system. They were beautifully balanced on the road, and pampered the driver with both performance and comfort!

This special example survives from the former owner of 17 years, being used a weekend cruiser during the summer driving season, always stored comfortably in a dedicated garage under cover when not in use. Maintenance records while under former ownership will be provided to the new owner, which included a new clutch kit installed in October 2003. The paint was professionally refinished in August 2020 in a base coat/clear coat fashion, along with the installation of all new body weather stripping and seals. The white convertible top is an older replacement and continues to appear as near new when in use.
Additional service work carried out by our professional team here at the St. Louis Car Museum was complete in September 2020 that included a complete carburetor rebuild, new fuel filter, new spark plugs, engine tune, new valve cover gaskets, rebuild of the speedometer with new trip cable, turn signal switch and cam lock, and all new engine fluids with fresh oil filter. The odometer shows only 6,456 miles, but since it was not functional upon our acquisition, it will be sold true mileage unknown. This is a terrific, original Corvette that has not been abused or modified making for a splendid investment for anyone looking for something they can confidently show and drive!
