1964 Coupe 300hp, 5speed, bushings shocks and more
SOLD and on its way to its new home in Canada.. Good Luck Howy
I bought this 64 Coupe over 12 years ago and I never thought I would sell it, but now with 2 little girls and other hobbies that require a truck, I never find the time to drive it and enjoy it as much as I would like. I have tried to make a nice “Driver”. I upgraded some safety and drive ability by installing a dual brake master cylinder, Camaro T-5 manual 5 speed with overdrive, and 94 corvette seats, and complete new urethane bushings and rubber body bushings. It will now cruise 65mph at 2300rpm. The bumpers are not as shinny as they could be and the headlights aren’t the fastest to rotate up, but you can hop in and drive. The temps will sit at 180 and not move and has strong oil pressure at idle which the picture below shows. I have many of the stock parts still around, although the original engine and tranny are long gone. Feel free to ask any questions or for more pictures. Asking $28,000 obo.
