Vehicle Description
1965 Chevrolet Corvette For the 1965 model year, Chevrolet offered
the legendary "big block" engine in a Corvette for the first time.
Produced only during the second half of the model year, a specially
tuned, 425-horsepower version of the 396 cubic inch unit fitted to
the Corvette, which transformed it into a tire shredding monster
that was both cheaper and faster than the previous range-topping
Fuel-Injected 327. The 396 was only offered for one half of the
production year, as the 427 cubic inch big block replaced the 396
for 1966. The cockpit is trimmed in saddle-colored leather and
carpet as original (code 421), with correct pattern materials on
the seats, carpets and door panels. It is equipped with options
such as the teakwood steering wheel (N36), transistor ignition
(L75), Whitewall tires, tinted glass (A02) and an AM/FM radio
(Z01). The interior is very well detailed, with correct gauges,
seatbelts and a properly working original clock. Lifting the hood
reveals the 396 cubic inch, 425 horsepower V8 which is believed to
be the original unit for the car. The engine was recently rebuilt,
is properly detailed down to the overspray on the exhaust
manifolds, and it runs strongly. Power is sent through a 4-speed
manual transmission and on through a 3.55:1 rear axle. Other
options include transistorized ignition, and off-road exhaust
(N14). Performance is astounding, with huge torque and endless pull
from the 396 along with an awesome soundtrack. Road manners are
excellent with excellent handing and a tight, well-sorted feel.
This car is genuinely fast, very well sorted and incredibly
enjoyable to drive. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is
