Why we picked it

This 1964 Sting Ray coupe keeps its numbers-matching 327/300 (RQ engine code, which decodes to a 4-speed car with air conditioning) and a 4-speed manual. The seller says it had a body-off restoration between 2013 and 2023 and was refinished from Ermine White to PPG dark blue metallic over new Al Knoch dark blue leather. A front disc brake kit has been added. It has a clean Oklahoma title and service records. Factory A/C was a rare option in 1964, but here it does not work and the driver-side vent is missing.

The current bid of $37,500 is well under where comparable small-block coupes have been selling. The auction runs until October 12, and bids usually climb near the end, so treat the current number as a starting point. Even at $50k it would still be below recent comps.

The value check

When we found it, the bid was $37,500. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $60,000–$80,000, so the middle of the market is about $70,000. That put this car 46% under.

Recent sales of 1964-65 small-block C2 coupes run from about $68,750 (BaT, Sept 2026) to $90,200, with nicer cars past $100k. A color-changed driver with non-working A/C sits at the lower end, so $60k-$80k is a fair range.

Where the numbers come from:

What to check

  • Look at the birdcage (the steel cage inside the fiberglass), especially the windshield pillars and rocker areas, for rust
  • Check the frame rails ahead of the rear wheels and the trailing-arm mounts
  • The A/C does not work and the driver-side duct/vent is missing; the seller has not given a repair cost
  • The color change from Ermine White and the non-original interior will matter to NCRS-type buyers
  • The mileage is listed as TMU (true mileage unknown); ask for the restoration records and photos

Making it drive like new

Keep the numbers-matching 327 and gearbox stored safely. For a driver, a working modern A/C system (Vintage Air or similar), a Tremec 5-speed and upgraded rear trailing-arm bushings make it a great road car without permanent changes.

7 builders make a complete chassis for the 1963–67 C2 Corvette. Compare them side by side, along with what it takes to stiffen the factory frame.

How it ended

Bidding reached $54,500 but the car didn't sell (ended Oct 12, 2026). Unsold cars often get relisted, so it may turn up again.
