1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible — 327 V8, 4-Speed, Daytona Blue Why This Car Is Special The 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray represents the second year of what many collectors consider the best-looking generation the nameplate ever produced. Chevrolet introduced the C2 Sting Ray body in 1963, and by 1964 the engineers had already sorted out several of the first-year quirks — most notably, the controversial split rear window was gone, replaced by a clean single-pane backlight on the coupe. The convertible, like this one, carried its own distinct appeal: an open cockpit, a black soft top, and a profile that still looks purposeful six decades later. Chevrolet built 13,925 Corvette convertibles for 1964, out of a total Corvette production run of 22,229 units. That makes this body style the more common of the two that year, but the combination of options on this particular car — the 327 Turbo-Fire with a 4-speed manual, knock-off aluminum wheels, the stinger hood, and an AM/FM radio — reflects the kind of thoughtful build that a buyer in 1964 put real money into. The Corvette was not an inexpensive car. Its base price in 1964 was approximately $4,037, which was substantial money at the time. The VIN on this car decodes to confirm it is a 1964 Corvette convertible (body style code '67'), assembled at the St. Louis, Missouri plant, with sequential unit number 14798 — placing its production well into the model year run. That mid-production build timing is generally associated with stable assembly quality, as early teething issues had been resolved. Daytona Blue is one of the more distinctive colors from the 1964 Corvette palette. It reads dark and rich — almost approaching navy in certain light — which pairs directly with the black interior and black soft top. The combination is purposeful and conservative without being boring. Features List - 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 engine - 4-Speed manual transmission - Daytona Blue exterior - Black vinyl interior - Black soft top - Knock-off aluminum wheels - Whitewall tires - Stinger hood - Dual exhaust with chrome side exhaust tips - Chrome bumpers - Outside rear view mirror - Dashboard-mounted tachometer - Dashboard clock - AM/FM radio (Delco) - Heater and defroster - Center console - Bucket seats - Seat belts - Wood-rimmed steering wheel - Independent rear suspension - Four-wheel drum brakes - Fiberglass body Mechanical The 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 is the entry-level 327 in the 1964 Corvette lineup, rated at 250 horsepower in base configuration. While it does not carry the horsepower numbers of the fuel-injected or high-compression 327 variants also offered that year, it is the right engine for a driver who wants a usable, reliable, and historically correct Corvette. The small-block 327 is well-supported by the aftermarket, parts are plentiful, and the engine responds well to routine maintenance. Under the hood, the red-painted block and valve covers with the 'Chevrolet 327 Turbo-Fire' identification script are present and correct — matching what you see in period factory documentation. The 4-speed manual transmission is the gearbox serious Corvette buyers selected in 1964. Chevrolet offered two 4-speed options that year: a wide-ratio unit and a close-ratio unit intended for more aggressive use. Either way, the rowing-your-own configuration is the right pairing for this car, and the chrome ball shifter rising from the center console puts it right where it belongs. The gear indicator plate is visible on the console, legible and original in appearance. The independent rear suspension was a major technical achievement when Chevrolet introduced it on the C2 in 1963. Prior to that, every Corvette used a live rear axle. The new IRS used a U-jointed half-shaft arrangement that allowed each rear wheel to move independently, dramatically improving cornering behavior and ride quality.
