This 1964 Corvette Sting Ray was recently pulled from an airport storage hangar, where it had been parked for the past 25 years. It’s original and is still wearing the dirt it collected while in storage. The seller hasn’t tried to get it started yet, but hopefully it won’t take much to get it running again. Find it here on eBay, where it is being offered without a reserve.

This Sting Ray is a L75 car with the 300 hp 327 V8, which is mated to a four-speed Muncie gearbox. The odometer reads just 64,000 miles, but it’s impossible to know that for sure. It was ordered with A/C, which is still in place, but will likely need to be rebuilt.

The interior looks complete, but needs some attention. The driver’s seat will need to be re-upholstered and the rest of the interior will need to be cleaned. It looks like a few of the trim pieces will also need to be replaced, but overall the interior looks salvageable.

The 327 hasn’t been run since the car was driven into the hangar. The seller has checked all the identification numbers and has discovered that the engine block isn’t the original. Everything else appears to be correct and original. They haven’t tried to start it, but they have turned it and it rotates freely.

This Vette needs some work, but has tons of potential. The body appears to be in great shape and should clean up nicely. I would be sure to check it over carefully and make sure the frame is solid and that the dust isn’t hiding any cracks in the body. Would you restore this one or leave it as is?

Seems like a relatively easy project for someone who knows what they're doing. I, for one, would love to see it back on the road again.

25 years in airport parking? That ticket must have cost more than the car itself
