Default 64 Bashing

So i clean the old girl up and we go golfing today followed by a trip for some water ice. Sitting there minding my own business and a guy comes up an says he would give me 18 grand for the car. I said no thanks I like the car and he tells me his buddy says that all 64's are crap and I was nuts for not taking his offer.
I feel like Rodney Dangerfield.
Does this line ever end??

It's sad. That's exactly why I stopped taking cars to car shows.

Which begs the question, "Why would he want it at all?"

Some people are just jerks . . . fortunately most people are not.

My first Corvette was a 64 coupe (almost 40 years ago) and to this day, was one of my favorites. You should have asked that d!ck head where his Corvette was so you could look at it and be a F----- A----- like him. Most of those jerks don't own, and have never owned, a Corvette. Don't let it ruin your day.

I read so many post about 64 basing after I bought my Coupe, I became so paranoid, I fixed it so the only midyear it couldn't be is a 63....



Now the only problem I have is Midyear owners wanting to know how much I have in it....

Next it will probably be people thinking I have a late model conversion..:

Great answer! I'll try to remember it on behalf of the '64 I've kept, let the '66 and '57 go!

I loved my 64 coupe years ago.

There used to be a "rules of 4". "54 64 74 84" I think that rule is about gone, thankfully.

I owned this 64 Corvette with the 365HP mill from 1981 to 1995. I never heard a overt negative comment in all the years I owned it. But I do admit running into some real a$$holes along the way.

Some excellent come backs here, but really, what is so wrong with a 64?

63's and 64's are the only ones that can put flames in the fenders.

Well to be honest I too own a 64 (365 Hp 4 sp saddle tan car 0 that even has the original paperwork from when it was ordered in Vietnam thru Gms foreign dist center...

Major reason I purchased it was that the 64 was by far less expensive then the other mid years and the only thing it lacked in my opinion was disc brakes...solved that by installing a set of discs on the front...

I've owned the car for well over 10 years now and have never.,.ever..regretted the purchase..not of a second...
