Vehicle Description
An outstanding restoration to an exceptionally rare color is the
headline of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette. But don't forget to check
out the huge big block power, four-speed stick-shift, supple
interior, and much more that make this a serious driver's
classic.
This might look black in some pictures, but you're really looking
at a deep, dark hue known as Glen Green. Corvette people know it
was only available in '65, and so you're are instantly in exclusive
company with less than 3,800 examples produced. So it's no wonder
there was a big investment in properly respraying this special
color. Plus, the modern clearcoat shine really highlights the crisp
condition of this well-creased Sting Ray body. This dark color also
makes the complete and clean chrome really standout, too - from the
thin bumpers, to the cursive Corvette script on the rear. And more
than just look terrific, this has a huge intimidation factor with
the big block's bulging hood, genuine knock-off wheels, and
competition-inspired side pipes.
It's hard to think of a more attractive interior on a deep green
car than a deep black inside. It looks great thanks to complete
door panels, a new headliner, and supple leather bucket seats. The
atmosphere is quite authentic with all the right classic pieces
like the heat/defrost controls, clock, and AM/FM radio. Your left
hand grabs the three-spoke wood rim sports steering wheel, and
beyond that is the full gauge set with large speedometer and very
useful tachometer. But your right hand gets the real treat. The
stick-shift was the correct choice for your Corvette if you love to
drive. Plus, there's just something cool about grabbing the big
chrome leaver housed in the original chrome console.
You're going to love showing off the engine bay. After all, there
were big block Corvettes in this era, but none were as massive as
this. The restoration included an upgrade to a 502 cubic-inch V8.
It's ready to show off this enhancement with plenty of polished
components and valve covers that announce the huge displacement.
This crate motor fires up with ease, and it gives extra growl to
the ferocious sound that radiates from the ultra-cool side pipes.
The four-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the
monster motor, and out on the road, it lets you fully experience
the power that reminds you why this is America's true sports car.
But the full package is more than just brute force. A fully
independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and modern Goodyear
Assurance tires all make this classic Corvette a true pleasure to
drive.
Complete with owner's manual and restoration photos, this is the
distinctive Sting Ray with a greatly enhanced heart. Don't let
