1964 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Stingray Convertible (Note: This is Dad's)

Disclaimer: my dad and I only have one picture of it, and it’s in the picture with the ‘Cuda convertible (it’s the car behind it). Because of this lack of pictures, I had to find pictures of cars that look as much like it as possible!

Backstory: this was my dad’s project car while I was still a baby and a boy. When his mother was dying of bone cancer, he would like to go to his garage and spend time working on it. It was the very first sports/muscle car I ever got to sit in, and it was an incredible machine, especially with how he was able to restore it to such a great condition. Today, it’s stuck on our lift, which lifted the car up, but can’t come down! (I’ll see if I can get a picture of it on the lift; it’s covered on there!)

We’re looking at doing it soon, but we don’t know if there would be a specific date to do so yet!

Although I like the C4’s Design (Insert terrorist joke) more, the C2 has that road presence.

Well, there’s a couple of reasons for that, first and foremost being that the car’s covered on the lift. Another reason is that my phone’s storage is completely used up, so I can’t use my camera (but I can use my iPad or other peoples’ phones). Also, we weren’t able to get many pictures of it when we got our phones, so I apologize for the lack of original pictures!
