Your buddy "not being a Corvette guy" is great news for you!

Nice score. Looking forward to watching this old warrior going back together.

Everything happens for a reason. This '64 was meant to go home with you. They were all meant to be driven. You have the right idea. Good luck going forward and keep the pictures and updates coming.

Yesterday I gave the old girl a hot shower. Got most of the 54 years of grime off.

Doesn't she have a nice ***

And not the guy steam cleaning his quad. Break out the steam cleaner instant party

Looks great. I bet that paint will clean up nicely with a little TLC and some buffing...

I thought the exact same thing the minute I saw it. Magazine cover material, like that classic one from the early '50's with about 5 guys under the hood of an old Merc. Classic. That '64 sure is a pretty car....looking better each post!

Not original engine. It is a 327 the guy that had the car said it had a lumpy cam so not sure. I am going to replace all gaskets and pull timing cover off maybe pull cam out and see what it is. Has performance looking valve spring retainers.
