Incredible 1964 Corvette Stingray
I stumble across many videos while perusing the interwebs on a daily basis, but this incredible 1964 Corvette Stingray caught my eye. While this video is a bit over-dramatized, “Stepchild’s Revenge” was worth giving a second look.
The author of the video says of the clip: “This is my father’s 1964 Corvette Stingray, which has been referred to as ‘Stepchild’s Revenge.’ It made the cover of the December issue of Vette Magazine. This was made for my video-production class at school. I have a passion for making car videos and hopefully one day work for a big automobile corporation.”
The car was also featured at Super Chevy and they discuss the name “Stepchild’s Revenge.” It seems that many out there like to refer to the mid-year lineage of the ’64 as a “red-headed stepchild” to the more desirable and loved ’65-’68 versions. Whatever you want to call it, the owner, Paul Wolf, disregarded the talk and bought this beauty for a mere $1,400.
Paul soon underwent transforming his ’64 Corvette into an incredible LS7-powered Pro beast of a car.
