Vehicle Description
Powerful, polished, and poised, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible has everything you want - a 300 hp V8, four-speed
manual, terrific color combo, etc. - all directly from the factory.
And it has been treated correctly for over half a century to make
sure it's all ready to show off today.
A red Corvette is absolutely iconic, but not all are created equal.
This was the debut year for Rally Red - one of the brightest ever
applied to these Sting Rays. So you'll love that this one had a
solid investment in modern clearcoat respray of this
factory-correct color. It gives it a terrific luster in the
sunshine that highlights the crisp creases in this very straight
body. And this one really has a great look of originality with
everything from the factory-style wheel covers to provisions for
the factory hardtop that come with the sale. Plus, 1965 was the
first year of the completely smooth hood. It left the Corvette free
from a lot of ornamentation. The result is an elegantly restrained
use of chrome for '60s standards and one of smoothest bodies
around. It also means the remaining brightwork really stands out
where utilized. So it's important that it looks especially nice in
places like the iconic two-piece front and rear bumpers.
We know you like the look of the black soft top, because after all,
nothing looks better against red than black. So you'll love taking
the top down to show off the full black interior. This aggressively
dark attitude looks great thanks to the door panels, console, and
dashboard all looking exceptionally clean. And it even has the
heater and AM/FM stereo still in working order for the true
original-style atmosphere. But as the driver, you'll really enjoy
the well-maintained bucket seats. Your left hand grabs the
three-spoke wood rim sports steering wheel, and your right one will
be instantly attracted to the big chrome gearshift.
Lift the hood, and you'll find a beautifully honest 327 cubic-inch
V8. It also has the correct features like the Chevy orange on the
block, callout stickers, and polished pie dish air cleaner and
ignition shield adding a touch of flair. On the road this motor has
the right amount of snarl through the dual exhaust pipes as you row
through the numbers-matching Muncie four-speed. It's the kind of
sound that's perfect for a little Saturday night intimidation, and
it also never gets old when spending all-day Sunday driving the
backroads. This great driving attitude is backed up by power
steering, an upgraded aluminum radiator, and the fully independent
suspension. Plus, 1965 was the first year for four-wheel disc
brakes as standard - a big reason why these are the superior
driving C2s.
Complete with build receipts, this is the crisp and powerful icon
done the way you want it. So don't let your dream car go into
someone else's garage. Call today!!!
