64 Vette?
I'm looking at a 64 Vette that the owner tells me his car is a factory odd ball, it's a 1964 model year but due to an over run by Chevy that year, it has almost all 1965 parts. Can this be true or is it a line?

I'd be interested to see just exactly what 65 parts are on the car before I'd comment. Would also like to know the VIN.

I know a few parts on my 65 coupe built in early March 65 has a few very late 64 date codes, like the glass (December 64). But it seems very odd that a 64 would have parts with 65 date codes, that just doesn't seem logical.

Make sure your title says 40867S114757 or you might have a future problem.
Your VIN is the first part of April, so it is FAR from the end of the year and when they would be making '65 parts.
Try wrecked and repaired, updated to modern current Corvette (common back then), and so on.

Being that it was built sorta midway early-Aprilish through the production year, (s/n 14757 of 22229) and the cars after this one had '64 components, I think the seller might have a different version of reality than the rest of us.

$32K for a car in that condition is a lot of loot-ski. I have a perfectly good 64 driver that I would probably sell for not much more than that. My engine has been redone completely and the car rewired as well. That is way too many ducats for that puppy..

My 64 has front disc's, dont know if they are out of the Warren Tech Center, but I'm sure they came out of some garage, errrr, I mean a Tech Center in Detroit when the special ducted hood was installed to help cool the brakes.
