Description
Lot #1294 - This Corvette was the recipient of a highly documented no-expense-spared frame-off restoration by Artisan's Rod and Customs of Fort Wayne, IN. The Corvette has been driven only 700 miles since the build was completed. The frame and body were restored to better-than-factory standards. This '64 Corvette was originally built on July 7, 1964, and was an original California car. It is finished in Ermine White (Code 936) over a white interior with red carpet (code 899). The car was delivered brand new to Jack Coyle Chevrolet in San Bernardino, CA. The car was NCRS verified in February 2012 and comes with a reproduction of the original Window Sticker. This Resto-Mod 'Vette is equipped with a fuel-injected LS2 V8 engine from a 2008 Corvette mated to a TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. The engine was purchased for this build from Dino's Corvette Salvage. This no expense-spared build included upgrading to a Vintage Air system, even though the car came equipped with air conditioning from the factory. The car was also upgraded with a Classic Car Audio sound system, Steeroid power steering system, Be Cool radiator, Dakota Digital gauges in white with red lighting, reproduction knock-off wheels on American Classic radial tires, disc brake conversion, MSD Atomic fuel-injection system, Wilson throttle body, FAST LSX 92mm intake manifold, Hooker headers, Canton wet-sump oil pan, premium Tru Trac serpentine belt drive system, several Billet Specialties items, VBP Street Suspension kit, Hydramax hydraulic clutch system, a 3.73 rear end, electric headlight motor conversion and so much more. This car is the ideal combination of a completely stock appearing midyear Corvette, but with the reliability, performance and creature comforts of a modern car. Built to the highest standards, this Corvette is ready to drive and show.
