Exterior and Interior
The iconic design of the second generation is stereotypical of a classic Corvette much more than the first generation. The second generation brought many features, including the pop-up headlamps, boat-tail design and in the case of the coupe, the 1963 split screen rear window. This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod doesn’t have that, but it’s a convertible with a lovely black cloth top that can be dropped on glorious days to allow you to enjoy the weather, and the V8 rumble that emanates from the side exhaust outlets. The metalwork wears a lustrous black paintwork with red detailing on the center of the hood, and the car rolls on a set of chrome Z06 wheels wrapped in low profile tires. Open the door and you’re welcomed into a very red custom interior that’s reportedly been re-done and features ample leather. The iconic twin-cowled cockpit-inspired dash remains, but the gauges within are modern units, and even the stereo is a new unit that mimics the style of the OEM unit. There are power windows, air conditioning is reportedly installed, and so many lovely details to appreciate.
Engine
Pop the hydraulic hood on this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod using an included key fob, and you will find everything beneath to be new. Let’s start with the 6.2L LS3 crate V8 that puts out upwards of 400hp to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. You’ve also got power disc brakes that are newer Corvette units, power steering, and the suspension contains components from Corvette Corrections in Texas, being based on that of a C4 Corvette.
