My wife and I were out for a ride on our motorcycle on a Sunday afternoon in the country approximately 10 years ago. I noticed a convertible top through a window in a garage and I told my wife that’s a corvette. I thought about going back to see what year it was.. So we went looking and couldn’t find the house. After looking on three separate occasions we finally found the house and stopped to talk with the owner for a while and asked if he would be willing to sell the car. He said no. I asked if I could keeping in touch with him and he said sure and we swapped phone numbers. I called several times and stopped by a few times over the next several years.

Finally one day I asked again if he would consider selling the car and he said its hard because he said he had the car longer than his wife. You see he purchased the car from a local guy in 1971 and I did finally but it on June 25, 2022 which was my birthday. The car was bought new from a local Chevrolet dealer in Massachusetts and the first owner had it for four years and the second owner had it for 51 years and the car only had 63K miles. It took me approximately six years keeping in touch with him and he finally said yes.

I decided to restore the car late in 2023. I did most of the work other than the body prep work and painting. Finally completed the restoration in April of 2025. We love the car.

Our 1964 365HP with factory AC Corvette Coupe was still titled in the original owner’s name when we purchased in 2022. We have all the original order paperwork when the vehicle was special ordered on Christmas Eve 1963 at Aden Chevrolet-Oldsmobile in Brunswick, Missouri. The production date for this car was February 14, 1964, and then delivered to Aden Chevrolet-Oldsmobile for pickup by the Wheeler family. We have every document that was involved in the purchase/delivery including the GMAC financing agreement, all copies bill of sale, warranty book, original window sticker,  original owner’s manual signed by Arkus Duntov and his wife Elfi and Dave McClellan and his wife Glenda. The engine block stamp pad, VIN and TRIM TAG have been authenticated as original by CCAS Affirmation Service (Al Grenning). When Mr. Wheeler passed in 1984 with 65686 original miles, the car was purchased by James Patterson of Bloomington Indiana, who never titled the car in his name, so it remained titled to James Wheeler. Mr. Patterson put the car away in storage with the intention of restoring it someday. It remained in storage until 2022 when we purchased it and began the frame-off restoration with a totally original no-hit body, original drivetrain and all the documents to put it back to as it rolled off the assembly line in St. Louis  February 14,1964.  As a Tuxedo Black, black leather interior 1964 Coupe with 365HP motor and factory A/C, and ordered with NO Tinted Windows, it is believed to be One of One in this configuration.

When you are visiting MCACN, if you see guys in Red MCACN Judges shirts, just know that they are working VERY diligently to judge a LOT of cars at MCACN. Our Concours and Day 2 Judging sheets are 5 pages long and every part of the car, inside and out are checked for correctness to Factory Stock(Concours) and Period Correctness (Day 2) Our Super Street judging is a sheet that looks primarily at fit and finish, for those cars that have been modified, or simply do not desire the intense scrutiny of the other forms of judging. A Big Thank You to Bill Braun our Judging coordinator and our MCACN Judges for their tireless work at the MCACN Show! Photo Credit: Mike Lippeth Lipgnosis
