1964 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Stingray

Bursting onto the scene in 1963; the spectacular Chevrolet Corvette C2, commonly known as the Stingray became an instant design Icon. Radically different than anything that came before it, the 1963 Stingray is still considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.

General Motors did not make this Stingray a one trick fish however.  To make sure the go was as good as the show the Stingray was fitted with a variety of GM’s greatest V8 hits, including the venerable 327 and the two monsters of the range: The mighty 396 and the monstrous 427. To make sure that all this power actually made it to the road, the C2 was fitted with a De Dion rear suspension system, considerably more advanced than all other American cars of the period. Despite the official GM racing ‘Ban’ the C2 boasts an illustrious racing history both stateside and in Europe. A large number of Chevrolet engineers where involved in ‘Skunkwork’ operations to provide specialty parts and chassis to ‘Privateers’ (in the broadest sense of the term)  

This particular 1964 C2 Corvette was imported to France in 1993 and professionally restored by a well known racer/collector. The current owner acquired the car in 2009 and further upgraded the car to its current outstanding esthetic and competitive level. An extensive and detailed list of the carried out work by Tachyon Motorsport of The Netherlands is present. No expenses were spared and the homologated 402 Cubic inch (6.6 Ltr) big block with 545 Din HP and 670 Nm torque has only a couple of hours on the clock, dynosheet included.  A brand new ATL fuel cell was installed in 2017 and the new FIA HTP is valid until January 2027. The car is capable of winning races in the common pre 66 GT class.

As the car is road registered and maintains it’s fully functional interior it can also be entered in high profile events like the Peter Auto Tour Optic, the 100 Ore di Modena, any other FIA or FIVA sanctioned event and indeed any road or circuit event for Pre 66 GT’s.
