Immediately making this ‘Vette stand out is the blue exterior that has been resprayed at some stage during the car’s life. Complementing the paint are the original wheels complete with period-correct white-walled tires.
The listing notes that the previous owner always maintained the car and made a number of upgrades to it. For example, the brakes were upgraded from a single system to a split system both front and back. The drum brakes have also been replaced by disc brakes, a Borgeson power steering system has been fitted, there is electronic ignition, Edelbrock 5089 cylinder heads with new valves, an Edelbrock rocker cover, Edelbrock carburetor and filter, and the automatic transmission has been refurbished.
Found within is well-maintained black leather adorning the seats, door panels, and dashboard. The previous owner has also equipped it with upgraded Alpine speakers and an audio system that supports Bluetooth.
Power comes courtesy of a 327 cubic-inch (5.4-liter) small-block V8 that sends power to the rear wheels. The car has been driven 84,041 miles (~135,000 km) since leaving the factory in 1964.
