Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale WITHOUT RESERVE and SOLD to the highest bidder, January 16th-20th, 2013 at Russo and Steele's 13th Annual Scottsdale Arizona Auction. Please contact us for more information. The car started life as an original 1964 365HP 4 speed Corvette Coupe that was originally Daytona Blue exterior with Dark Blue interior. The car underwent a 100% complete and thorough restoration from 2003 to 2009 with no single bolt left untouched. The body is absolutely perfect with each panel and gap fitted with the utmost attention to detail and perfection. The gaps of the doors, the headlights and hood on the body are absolutely the best you will find on any midyear Corvette. The paint is blemish free and is some of the finest paint you will find anywhere. No excuses on the body fit and paint. The Bumpers are show re-chromed original GM bumpers. The Chassis was completely disassembled and we started with a bare frame. I took out all the little dings and imperfections and metal finished the entire frame before it was powder coated. We addressed some of the issues that are common to early corvette frames. The rear mounting points for the rear end were gusseted with supports from Tom's Differentials to add strength to a notably weak point in the frame. The Rear end was completely gone through by Tom's Differentials who is noted for doing some of the best work on the Corvette Read ends. The half shafts were reconditioned with all new Spicer u-joints. The trailing arms were gone through by a guy who worked for GM back in the day who had the special Jig's set up with the shims to get the bearings set to the perfect tolerances for long reliable service. Originally the 1964 Corvette had drum brakes so these were replaced with a complete and stock (brand new) Disc brake set up from the later year Corvettes. The Driveshaft is new and was built by Kiesler from whom we go the Tremec 5-speed transmission from. The Shocks are new Koni performance cas shocks. The front steering was upgraded from the original manual steering to a power Rack and Pinion from Steeroid and now the car drives extremely nice with a responsive feel from the road.. The original Steering wheel was changed out to a later model Corvette Leather wrapped wheel that was smaller and more user friendly in the cockpit of the car. It is smaller diameter so it does not interfere with the visibility of the gauges and gives more leg room. The engine is a brand new GM performance Crate ZZ 383 that was factory rated at 425 hp and 465 foot pounds of torque. The engine was then completely disassembled and fully balanced. And blueprinted and run excellent. The exhaust consists of handmade and specifically designed headers for this car. There is no dents from (making them fit) or interference with any of the clutch linkage. They were Jet Hot coated and look beautiful and are a very nice touch in the engine compartment. The rest of the exhaust was custom fit to the car and it looks great and sounds great with Magna-flow Mufflers. The car is powerful and pulls very hard when you accelerate but most of all it is smooth and very user friendly in all the gears. The engine bay is mainly comprised of all GM parts and Corvette stuff. We used GM performance catalog valve covers and everything else is pretty much GM factory performance parts. This makes it very easy to service and work on and make the car very reliable. The Radiator is a Dewitt Aluminum Radiator and the car does not have any overheating issues and has resided in sunny warm Phoenix it's entire life since completion.. Vintage Air Conditioning was added and works very good and is integrated into the car so it looks like it was always there. The interior was installed with very great care in using original GM dash pads and the leather seats were assembled using handpicked select leather hides for the seat covers ensuring nice soft leather. The gauges were all restored and all work properly. The floors are insulated and the cockpit does not get the heat from the engine compartment like the original cars did. The original AF/FM radio was restored and had an I-pod jack/cord added. The interior still smells new. This is due to the extensive cleaning of the complete cockpit prior to installing the interior. The car had had original style Knockoff wheels added with new tires. The wheels are actually the bolt on style for safety vs. the original knockoff design. The car is very fresh and has had very little use since the restoration. The car has had the care and detail put into it that only a car builder doing this for himself could do. This car consumed 100's of hours just doing the little things to make it rightIt would be very hard to find another midyear Corvette with this much attention to detail put into it.
