Sometimes, it’s not easy picking the right vehicle to start a restoration on. Certain cars and their short descriptions don’t lend themselves well to a faraway buyer, and certain sellers can simply rub you the wrong way if the interaction has been conducted exclusively through email exchanges, with hard answers to hard questions being few and far between.

Over at BringATrailer.com, however, a find on the Antique Automobile Club of America forum looks to be quite promising, both in terms of shape, quality, and seller friendliness. Belonging to a member named West Peterson, this metallic blue beauty is a ’64 Stingray that deserves a second chance at life on the road, and seems primed to do so with its good looks and carefully-maintained performance.

Per the seller’s description, the car underwent a repainting from its original Daytona Blue to Silver Blue, a period-correct color that Chevrolet offered for the 1963-64 model years. Gone is the native 327 that came with the car, and in its place is a replacement L76 327 made between 1963 and 1968.

Other new pieces include brakes, wheels, and a white top that was never completely installed. The interior leaves a little to be desired, showing visible wear and tear but still looking salvageable.

Taken all at once, the car seems well-priced, seeking $29,000 for what will eventually wind up fetching upwards of $80,000 when all fixed up and looking perfect. What do you think? Is this C2 worth the effort and asking price? Or would this Stingray best be left demanding a little less to find its next owner? Let us know with a comment below.
