This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette coupe underwent a rebuild and body-off refurbishment prior to being purchased by its current owner in 2025. Work included fitting an aluminum 565ci big-block V8, a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, carbon-fiber half shafts, C5 front and C4 rear suspension systems, C6 Z07-specification brakes, air conditioning, 18″ alloy wheels, and an Alpine stereo system. The body was refinished in green with a white center stripe and was also equipped with a 1967-style stinger hood, widened bodywork, third taillights, 18″ alloy wheels, deep-bucket seats, Simpson harnesses, side-exit exhaust pipes, and a built-in Passport radar detector. This modified C2 is now offered at no reserve in Canada by the seller on behalf of its owner with Ontario registration in the current owner’s name.
The fiberglass body was removed from the frame, widened, and refinished in green with a white center stripe during refurbishment, at which time the frame was powder-coated. It has been modified with third taillights and a 1967-style stinger hood. Features include flip-up headlamps, fender vents, side-exit exhaust pipes, chrome bumperettes, a retractable antenna, and driver- and passenger-side mirrors.
Five-spoke 18″ alloy wheels are mounted with 295/35 Nitto tires. The car rides on C5 front suspension and C4 rear suspension with Bilstein shocks. The car is equipped with power steering, and the seller states that braking is handled by an unassisted Wilwood master cylinder and C6 Z07-specification six-piston calipers over 14″ rotors with adjustable bias.
The cabin features two deep-bucket seats with black upholstery, headrests, and Simpson harnesses. The carpet was replaced during the build, and the car was fitted with a built-in radar system, air conditioning, an Optima red-top battery, and an Alpine amplifier and speakers. The car is also equipped with power windows, a padded center armrest, a cassette stereo, and an analog clock.
The three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 6k miles after being reset during the build, and approximately 300 miles have been added under current ownership.
The seller tells us that the engine is an aluminum 565ci big-block V8 sourced from Coil Racing Engines in McHenry, Illinois and built by Brent Jarvis of Performance Restorations in Mundelein. It features chrome accessories, stainless-steel braided hoses, electric fans, a Holley QFT four-barrel carburetor, long-tube headers, an aluminum accessory bracket, and an MSD distributor.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio Tremec five-speed manual transmission and carbon-fiber rear axle half shafts.
