Vintage Soul. Modern Power. Purpose-Built to Win.

In the pantheon of American performance icons, the 1964 Chevrolet Corvette C2 holds a revered spot — a symbol of style, innovation, and raw capability. But every once in a while, a particular example rises above the rest — not because it's preserved in a time capsule, but because it's been reimagined to meet the standards of modern motorsport.

Now live on BIDR Auctions is one such machine: a 1964 Corvette C2 racecar that has traded nostalgia for blistering lap times, fusing classic lines with a surgically precise build designed to conquer the track. Professionally engineered, meticulously assembled, and tuned to 725 horsepower, this car is not just a Corvette — it’s a rolling testament to what happens when passion, performance, and craftsmanship converge.

From Classic Chassis to Track-Dominating Weapon

At first glance, you’ll recognize the unmistakable silhouette of the C2 generation — the long hood, sharp fenders, and timeless fastback roofline. But beneath that iconic exterior lies a modern racing machine.

The build centers around a professionally assembled Katech LS7 V8. Fitted with a dry sump system and breathing through a 103mm throttle body and Billy Boat headers, the engine is mated to a Holley EFI Dominator ECU, feeding real-time data to a digital dash that keeps the driver fully informed at speed. Output is a commanding 725 horsepower, with approximately 1,200 miles logged since the build — all fully documented with receipts included.

Power is delivered via a Tremec T56 6-speed manual, upgraded by Bowler to strengthen 5th and 6th gears. The gearbox is complemented by an Auto Blip system, offering seamless rev-matching for faster, smoother downshifts — an advantage felt in every braking zone and corner exit. At the rear, a bulletproof Currie 9" IRS setup with a 3.50 gear ratio puts down the power with modern composure.

Track-Ready Engineering in Every Corner

Handling and stopping power are just as critical on a racecar as outright speed — and this Corvette delivers on both fronts. Underpinning the body is a modified C3 Corvette frame, reinforced with a full roll cage for added rigidity and driver safety. The suspension system features Ridetech coilovers with remote reservoirs and Twist Adjust technology, giving the driver precise control over damping and setup.

The front end has been upgraded to Ridetech’s T1 specification with custom knuckles and control arms, while stopping duties are handled by massive 17" Wilwood brakes with 6-piston calipers, ensuring fade-free braking under extreme conditions. C7 Corvette hubs and ARP ½” x 3” wheel studs round out the competition-grade foundation.

Not Just Built — Sorted

This Corvette doesn’t just look fast or promise potential — it’s been sorted, tested, and prepped to race today. A suite of updated safety and performance features was installed in 2024, including:

A new fire suppression systemFresh 6-point harnesses

A lightweight Optic Armor windshield and rear window

A full AIM Solo2 and SmartyCam system for professional data logging and video

A rearview camera and monitor, a thoughtful addition for awareness in tight paddock environments

Inside, the cockpit is stripped-down and driver-focused — a space built not for comfort, but for command. The digital display keeps critical info at your fingertips, while the purpose-built environment reinforces the car’s singular mission: to go fast, safely and consistently.

Wheels and Rubber for Every Occasion

Included with the sale are three complete sets of wheels and tires, offering flexibility for different track conditions or competition formats:

The Forgeline wheels currently mounted feature used rubber for testing or warm-up sessions.

A second set of Forgelines is wrapped in brand new Hoosier R7s, ready for peak grip.

The third set, American Racing wheels, comes with new Toyo R888Rs mounted and ready to run.

Whether you’re chasing lap records or dialing in suspension settings, this setup ensures you’re never unprepared.
