Powerful, polished, and poised, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible has everything you want. That means V8 power,
four-on-the-floor, and the undeniable distinction of one of the
best-looking classic sports cars ever.
A deep blue always looks good on a C2 convertible. After all, the
Sting Ray earned its name for looking like a smooth sea creature,
and so it's great to have this finished in the color of a tropical
ocean wave. And the white convertible top is its crest! 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 knock-off style wheels and the
iconic two-piece front and rear bumpers. Plus, we all know those
bright side pipes caught your eye.
The full black interior looks like it belongs in a performance
machine like this. This aggressively dark attitude looks
particularly nice thanks to new covers on the bucket seats. Plus,
this really shows off its vintage flair, right down to the details
like the heater and AM/FM stereo. 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. And we all love
to watch the gauges dance as you take full advantage of what's in
the engine bay.
Lift the hood, and you'll find a tidy and honest, year correct 327
cubic-inch V8. It also has the correct features like the Chevy
orange on the block, ram's horn exhaust, and polished pie dish air
cleaner and ignition shield adding a touch of flair. Plus, the
cursive Corvette script on the valve covers always look good on a
vintage 'Vette. On the road this motor has the right amount of
snarl through the awesome side pipes as you row through the
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 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.
This is the droptop icon done with plenty of appeal. So you know
you want to get your hands on this Sting Ray right now. Call
