The 1964 Corvette itself is a beautiful car, nobody can deny this, and this is also the reason so many collectors are willing to pay big bucks on an example that shines bright like a diamond.
On the other hand, finding one that looks like new is pretty much mission impossible right now, so the plan B would be much simpler: buy a project car that’s still as original as it gets and then restore it to factory specifications.
The Corvette that we have here is a project car that caught our attention, not just because it looks to be in good condition but also because right now, it’s just rotting away in someone’s year waiting to be given a second chance.
As you can easily tell with a few clicks in the photo gallery, the car appears to be very solid, and while some parts only require a little TLC, others might have to be replaced completely. This is the case with the driver-side metal, as the rust has clearly taken its toll in this region, making a full replacement the only way to go.
The frame overall still looks good with no rust whatsoever, though on the other hand, eBay seller ranger9812 says they noticed some previous fixes in this regard, and this could affect the level of originality this Chevrolet Corvette boasts.
The engine this Corvette was born with is long gone right now, so if you just want to restore the car to factory specifications, your only option is to find a correct 365 HP unit that still works. A 4-speed transmission is still in the car, yet we have no clue if it’s original or not.
The good news is the Corvette is still complete, as the car comes with all trim, interior, and exterior parts, though everything requires more or less extensive fixes.
The problem is this project car is quite expensive. The owner is willing to let it go for $35,000, yet the Make Offer button has also been enabled if someone has another deal in mind.
