Some classics can’t help but draw attention when they hit the market, as demonstrated by this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette. It isn’t merely the fact that it presents exceptionally well following a restoration, or that it retains its numbers-matching drivetrain. Those are both effective lures, but the seller’s decision to list this classic with No Reserve guarantees that the Corvette will find a new home in a few days. They have listed the ‘Vette here on eBay in Orlando, Florida. Bidding has raced to $53,200 as the day nears when this gem will head to greener pastures.

The seller repeatedly uses the word “beautiful” to describe this Corvette, and it is easy to see why. Its Ermine White paint shines impressively, and the fiberglass shows no significant flaws. The seller states that the bonding strips are intact, suggesting that this is a “no hits” body. Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the listing is the comprehensive image gallery. It traces virtually every aspect of this classic’s restoration, confirming that the frame and birdcage are rock-solid. The trim and glass are spotless, as are the damage-prone wheel covers. The factory side exhaust adds a touch of menace, and the V8 under the hood must sound glorious exhaling through it.

Some factory options are significantly more popular than others, as demonstrated by this Corvette. The entry-level 327ci V8 delivered 250hp and 350 ft/lbs of torque, providing very respectable performance. However, an impressive 47% of buyers in 1964 opted for the L75 version, boosting power and torque to 300hp and 360 ft/lbs. This is understandable, as it added only $53.80 to the car’s sticker price. On a “bang for your bucks” basis, it was a no-brainer, which helps explain why the L75 was comfortably the most popular engine that model year. The first owner teamed the L75 with a four-speed manual transmission, ticking the box beside power brakes as the finishing touch. Those contemplating the investment potential will welcome the news that this ‘Vette is a numbers-matching vehicle. It runs and drives perfectly, providing the winning bidder the option of flying in and driving it home.

The theme of impressive presentation continues inside this Corvette. The driver’s-side kick panel appears to be missing its edge trim, and the bright trim on the glovebox door seems to sport some dents. However, those seem to be its worst defects. The Red vinyl trim looks spotless, there is no carpet wear, and the dash is excellent. There is no appreciable wheel wear, and the car retains its AM/FM radio. The seller indicates that the build included installing a Vintage Air A/C system, and the original shifter has been replaced by what appears to be a Hurst shifter.

There is much to like about this 1964 Corvette, as confirmed by the listing statistics. This classic has attracted almost 300 views in the past day, and 127 people have added it to their Watch List. Sometimes such attention doesn’t translate into auction action, but this ‘Vette has attracted an impressive 49 bids. That last figure demonstrates that people are irresistibly drawn to this stunning icon, but are you tempted to join what could fast become a bidding war? I wish you luck if you do.
