1964 Corvette Coupe Fuel Injected
After the recent acquisition of another Corvette for our personal collection, I am offering our 1964 L84 (327/375hp) fuel injected coupe. I purchased this car for ourselves and did a complete mechanical restoration. In other words, I built this car to drive!
This car was stored and serviced at John's Fuel Injection Service in Paramount, CA. John had passed away in 2020 and thus the car had to be sold. The car was stored under a makeshift tent behind the shop (hence the patina on the car). While an original black on black car, it is reported the car was once painted white and then changed back to black. When one considers what is visible on the paint, that is quite possible. Most all original matching number car produced March 31st, 1964 and delivered to Hovey-Dallas Chevrolet in Garena, CA (as documented by NCRS Shipping Data Report). Fitted with it's original trim and VIN tags. Color code 900AA (black) with STD vinyl interior (black). Currently showing 110,xxx miles. The car has been driven 700 miles since the completion of the mechanical refurbishment. All original body panels with one exception (left side panel below belt line behind the LF wheel). All bonding strips intact and nice. All original window glass with the exception of the windshield. Excellent birdcage and solid windshield frame. Excellent rust free frame, control arms, trailering arms, etc. In fact, this car was disassembled with hand tools. Most of it's original fasteners have been reused. Parts removed from the car that would serve as beneficial have been retained if needed for a future cosmetic restoration. Fuel Injection was refurbished at Ken's Fuel Injection in Medina, TN. That included the rebuilding of the high pressure pump to eliminate the possibility of high RPM lean out. Original engine rebuilt and dyno'd at Automotive Machine Service (AMS Racing Engines) in West Allis, WI. Cylinder bores are at .030. New Sealed Power pistons (10.5:1 compression ratio), new Eagle rods, Comp solid flat tappet cam, and rotating assembly balanced.. New valve springs, pushrods, rocker arms, oil pump, rings, bearings, and timing set. All new valve guides, 3 angle valve job, bowl porting, and pinned rocker studs. Engine was dyno'd with a carb and intake (F.I. unit was not completed at the time). 407hp @5500 rpm and carries over 389-396 lb-ft of torque from 3800-5500 rpm. The engine also retains it's original fuel injection specific exhaust manifolds Original transmission rebuilt by Eric Davidson (Crash). All shafts checked for runout, new syncho's. sliders, gaskets, and seals. Centerforce clutch disc and pressure plate. All new Spicer U joints installed in drive shaft and half shafts. Non original 3.70 positraction rear end case. Very quiet and smooth. Sale also includes correctly dated 3.36 positraction case in sale. Trailering arms have been rebuilt by V Tech Corvette. All new ball joints, tie rod ends, tie rod adjusting sleeves, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, and idler arm (original idler arm included in sale). Brakes completely serviced. New shoes, wheel cylinders, brake hardware, brake hoses, and drums (original drums included with sale). Brake booster was rebuilt by Mike Gibbons of Brake Restorations, Inc. New heater core (and rebuilding of heater box), along with new radiator / expansion tank from Dewitt's. All new Lectric Limited wiring harness's. Headlight motors rebuilt and operate just as they should. Halogen bulbs installed and original dated T3's included in sale. The only numbers not correct / dated to the car are the rear diff case, starter, and one cylinder head. I feel the other cylinder head is perhaps a warranty unit given the date of it (speculation that is unproven). The alternator is a correctly dated unit, but not original to the car. All other numbers and dates are original to the car. I feel the mileage of 110,xxx is correct. The car had the original riveted ball joints when the car was refurbished. The knock off wheels (4) are original Kelsey Hayes wheels. I cannot confirm these are original to the car. The production date of the car falls into the period of time knock off wheels were being released from GM. The wheels run true, and hold air just as they should (GM had porosity issues with the early wheels). Brand new Firestone 6.70-15's Deluxe Champions reproduced by Coker Tire. Excellent ride and drive quality (especially when one considers these are still bias ply tires). Great original dash pads, door panels, and interior pieces. Radio refurbished by Dr. Don's in Texas. Carpets are heavily patina'd but certainly play the part of the car. The is an excellent running, excellent driving, and no excuse car with GREAT bones. A person can drive this car with no question or reservation. It also can be the foundation of a killer restoration! After all, it is a true black on black, original matching number, California black plate fuelie.

That's very cool. GLWS. I followed the resurrection thread on CF closely. I will be in touch in a few weeks to talk about FI if the 63 deal I am working comes through.

Tim, your Corvette is cazy! I recently had to limit my travel time to 4 hours and 20 minutes. Since I am 4 hours and 26 minutes away, I will have to stay home and be good. Like Jake said in another add, but not just the Chevelles. Can you believe the cars that are on this site for sale right now?? I can smell that car just sitting on my couch!

This one struck me as a good buy when on CL and an even better buy now that she's sorted out. Drive without concern... Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I must admit, I am a little conflicted in selling it. I'll be posting a drive video once the weather clears.
