Vehicle Description
A great classic means a high degree of originality while still
offer a high degree of drivability. So you'll be happy to read that
this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray coupe that caught your eye
with its beautiful paint is also a numbers-matching, four-speed car
that still loves the open road.
Milano Maroon is the perfect color for the right sort of vintage
'Vette buyer. It keeps the same attention grabbing attitude of the
red cars that the Corvette community loves, but the darker finish
gives it a level of sophistication that makes this Sting Ray easy
to park next to European classics, too. Of course, both crowds will
love that this is the factory-correct color presented on crisp body
with plenty of shine. 1965 was the first year of the completely
smooth hood. It left the Corvette free from a lot of ornamentation,
and the result is an elegantly restrained use of chrome for '60s
standards. The sparing use of brightwork also means it's important
that it looks especially nice in places like the genuine knock-off
wheels, rockers, and two-piece front and rear bumpers.
The factory-correct black interior goes nicely with the darker red
tones of the exterior. And the crispness of the bucket seats, dash,
and doors are more signs of a classic coupe treated with respect.
Your left hand grabs the three-spoke wood rim sports steering
wheel, and beyond that is the full gauges include the large
speedometer and very useful tachometer. But your right hand gets
the real treat. The four-speed manual transmission was the correct
choice for your Corvette if you love to drive, and this is the
original numbers-matching unit. Plus, there's just something cool
about grabbing the big polished shifter housed in the original
bright console.
Lift the hood for a correct and crisp presentation. This is the
numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V8 of the Sting Ray's upgraded L75
motor with an advertised 300 hp rating. It has a great look with
the Chevy orange on the block, bright pie dish air cleaner, shining
ignition shield, and Corvette script valve covers. Plus, you have
the right maintenance with newer components like the hoses, wires,
and even the radiator. On the road, this motor has the right amount
of snarl through the dual exhaust pipes as you row through all four
forward speeds. It's the kind of sound that's perfect for a little
Saturday night intimidation, but it never gets old when spending
all-day Sunday driving the backroads. This great driving attitude
is backed up by the power steering, a fully independent suspension,
and four-wheel disc brakes - 1965 was the first year they were
standard and a big reason why these are the superior driving
C2s.
The sale comes complete with NCRS docs and maintenance receipts.
This is a great classic presentation if you love power,
distinction, and the open road. Don't miss this Sting Ray, call
