The buyer picked up the car today. Didn't even drive it so he must have felt pretty confident about the car. Besides the quality of the car, the one thing that attracted him to the car was the LS1. Pretty hard for me to turn down $29K for a big bumper Camaro when I had the opportunity. On the other hand, he got a really great car. I am sure he will enjoy it.

Still on the prowl for another car. I am sure something will turn up.

 

Yeah, something will turn up, and I'm sure you'll find a way to improve it too!

 

Maybe an LS9 swap...

Just saying.

 

1964 Corvette Coupe. 327/365HP, 4 spd, PS, PB, PW, Knock off wheels, numbers matching. I have had two '67 roadsters in my past and have always had a sweet spot in my heart for these cars. Since I am not really a convertible guy, I was only looking for a coupe. This car promises to be a very nice car but not a Bloomington gold type car. In other words, I can drive it.

Also, I graduated from high school in 1964. Perfect car to drive to the 50th class reunion.









Unfortunately, it is in Seattle, WA. If all goes according to plan, it should be picked up next week and I should see it the first part of March. I bought in on EBay from a guy who says he has owned 360 cars. Great guy and very knowledgeable.

It does not have air so that will be the first project. I looked at both Vintage and Classic air and like the Classic setup better. Either one of them do not require major surgery to install so the car could easily go back to stock. I will be saving any pieces I take off the car and storing them in a dry place.

My son has already discovered a fuel injection system that looks like the system available as an option in '64.

 

Very nice looking Corvette! I have never been a convertible guy either. I would always prefer a fastback Corvette, or a removeable hardtop if I did get a convertible. Love the mid 60's Corvettes too!

 

Jerry, go nuts. I like the 50's style EFI intake. Someone was doing there homework. I read your post on nasty too. I think you should turn into a track car. Make it legit, these cars were meant to be raced with the very best technology of the time. Now you can use the very best technology of our time.

Mr Allmandinger sounds like my kind of guy. He is getting ready for the whurl wind season of NASCAR. Better have his fun now.

 

It's too nice a car to make it into a race car. I did look at the '66 Vette in this link. If you wanted to do a race car, this would be the one. It has lots of goodies and the price is right.

Big block 1966 is a pretty cool car. As he says, not a collector car, but it's perfect for someone wanting a Corvette for very little money, and not worry about hurting it. Wish I had more room here, I'd definitely consider it! The 402 is one of my favorite big blocks, and the 5 speed makes it a real runner.

 

I did a full body off restoration on the Corvette. If you are interested, the thread is at: Will be doing a body off on my '64 coupe - Corvette Forum

Here are some photos from a couple days ago.

 

Oh wow that thing turned out looking gorgeous! And you did that in a year's time?
