Default Welcome to the C2 group

Welcome, also, to the sub group of C2 owners who have a '64, as I do. Many think it has the best interior, and w/the removal of that dang split window, better viewing out the back, and overall.

Welcome to the C1-C2 Forum!

It looks like a very nice '64 Corvette. You need to tell us more about it...

I would pay close attention to the proximity of the wires over the two center header pipes. If they touch the header, they will be toast and even too close can damage the wires and lead to misfires very quickly.



Good luck and do tell us more... GUSTO

Congrats! 64's are the best in my humble opinion

Is this your first C2?

Congratulation on your first C-2. If the colors are correct, I think it's a rare combination. Your shifter appears to be in the long throw position. It may be possible to adjust them for short shift by repositioning the rods to the lower hole on the arms at the side of the trans. Dennis

well i have been looking for a semi affordable c2 for about 2 years.i buddy of mine was in Hershey and saw this California c2.it was extremely solid.he is a 66 nut and 64's don't really do it for him.so he bought it and gave me first crack at it.i bought it immediately.
