The 1964 Chevrolet Corvette continued the Corvette's trek to become the premier muscle car. In the "looks" department, the unpopular (among most) split rear window was removed, as were the fake hood vents. A three-speed fan was available to improve ventilation.

Chevrolet manufactured 8,304 Sting Ray coupes and 13,925 convertibles. Engines were available as a 327-ci, 250 horsepower all that way up to a 327-ci, fuel-injected machine capable of 375 horsepower (known among muscle car fans as the "L84 Fuelie").
