🧰 Description Overview
This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a highly desirable numbers-matching example equipped with the 327 cubic-inch, 365-horsepower L76 V8 engine and a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission. Showing just 30,899 miles since new and retaining its original drivetrain components, this Corvette represents a rare and well-preserved mid-year C2.
Finished in its original and seldom-seen Saddle Tan exterior over a matching Saddle Tan interior, the car was repainted once in its factory-correct color. Of the 8,304 Corvette coupes produced for 1964, approximately 8% were finished in Saddle Tan, with an even smaller percentage trimmed in matching Saddle Tan inside. Fewer still were equipped with the high-output 327/365 HP L76 engine, making this configuration particularly uncommon.
The engine casting (378870 for 1962–1965 327 blocks) carries the correct RT suffix for the L76 327/365 application and is VIN-stamped, confirming its numbers-matching status. The Muncie 4-speed transmission (casting 3851325) is also VIN-stamped and matching. The rear axle is coded CJ 3.08 10-bolt Posi-Traction, completing the correct performance drivetrain combination.
Factory features include knock-off wheels, AM/FM radio with power antenna, tachometer, clock, and dual exhaust. The L76 327/365 HP engine is widely regarded as one of the most desirable small-block Corvette engines of the era, offering strong high-revving performance and excellent balance.
🏁 Summary
A rare, numbers-matching 1964 Corvette Coupe finished in its original Saddle Tan color combination and powered by its matching 327/365 HP L76 engine with Muncie M20 4-speed transmission. With under 31,000 miles since new and a highly sought-after specification, this example stands as a standout among mid-year Corvettes.
