Few cars embody American performance and design heritage like the 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. This particular C2 is in remarkable condition with just 40,000 miles, a clean fiberglass body, and no rust — a true survivor that’s already been cared for the last 10 years with a refreshed suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. 

With its interior and cosmetics already in excellent shape, this Corvette is the perfect foundation for a world-class EV conversion.

The vision is clear: honor the timeless style of the Corvette while giving it the instant torque, quiet refinement, and effortless drivability of modern electric power. 

The goal is to deliver smooth, reliable performance in the range of 200–250 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, with strong low-end acceleration and a comfortable real-world range of 250–270 miles. Top speed around 80 mph is more than enough — this is a weekend cruiser, designed for pure enjoyment.

Charging will be simple and stress-free with overnight home charging. DC fast charging is not a requirement, but careful engineering of the battery pack, cooling, and weight distribution is essential to preserve balance and handling. Whether the original 4-speed manual is retained or replaced with a direct-drive system, the end result must feel authentic yet refined, delivering the best of both eras. Additional features, such as power steering and air conditioning, or upgrades (including brakes and suspension), may be included depending on feasibility and budget, but the overall focus is on producing a refined and quiet driving experience. 

Ron’s expectations are high: this is not a prototype, but a premium EV conversion that will set a standard for quality, craftsmanship, and reliability. 

With a target completion date of Spring 2026, this project represents a rare opportunity to create a flagship example of how a classic can be reimagined for a clean, electric future while retaining every ounce of its heritage.
