This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette has a unique history and has been carefully restored to original specifications. Purchased in May 1992 by the seller’s in-laws, the car was in need of significant repair and TLC. The seller’s father-in-law took on the restoration himself, replacing the incorrect engine with the original small-block 327 and sourcing the correct parts to match the car’s December 1964 production date.
In 2014, the car was sent to Vinnie’s Muscle Cars in Texas for a complete check-up and makeover. Vinnie restored the car’s paint to its original Glen Green color and made it show-worthy. The car has been garaged and covered since 1992, with less than 500 miles driven over the last 10 years. It’s been maintained with great care, including minimal use on trips to the Black Hills and occasional drives around rural Minnesota.
The odometer reflects the original mileage, and the restoration was done with accuracy to match the factory specifications of a December 1964 build. The car’s history includes ownership by a couple in Nebraska before 1975, multiple ownership changes, and a sale to the seller’s in-laws in 1992. The previous owner intended to restore it with his son, but tragically, the project was never completed.
This Corvette is a testament to careful restoration, authenticity, and a deep commitment to preserving its original character. Vinnie, who worked on the car since 2014, can provide additional details on the restoration and parts used.
