This is a very rare car with rare factory air conditioning (1 of only 1,988 models in '64) and an exceptional example in every way, so much so that world famous Corvette expert and enthusiast Noland Adams had used the car as a reference in his renown Corvette restoration guide. In fact the car scored 99.42 points out of 100 and scored first place at the Western States Corvette Council judging meet in 2014.
Fully loaded and equipped with its original 327 V8 engine and factory power steering, windows, brakes and air conditioning. The car was reportedly the only one built with the optional knock off alloy wheels with standard wheel caps and believed to be 1 of 7 ever built in all Silver and with these options. The car has reportedly never been restored and has only just turned 80K original miles.

The car recently came out of long term ownership from it's long time southern California owners along with some documented history and pictures including original judging sheets and which will be sold with its original manuals. It is a very striking and completely accident and obviously rust-free car and looks extremely impressive in it's original 'Satin Silver' (#940 Color Code, 1 of only 2,785 in this color) factory color paint with it's original matching 'Silver' (#491AA Trim Code) interior in exceptional condition throughout. The car is all original and numbers matching including it's original matching #'s 327/300HP V8 'SL' suffix code engine (correct code for every 327/300HP, AT, A/C car matched to it's correct casting # 3782870) and its original Powerglide automatic transmission.
This is one very rare and unabused and unrestored examples of one of the best styling efforts of the decade, a genuine grand touring car in every sense of the word, this shortest lived Corvette design (1963-67) is probably the most sought after apart from the 1953-1957 models and is increasing in value and desirability each year!
This particular original California car drives as good as when new and is an all original matching #'s example with desirable and very factory options including air conditioning, power brakes, power steering, power windows and the rarely ordered Powerglide Transmission which is highly sought after by some and is sure to prove a most worthy investment or simply a great daily driver for any Corvette enthusiast or classic American car enthusiast!
