Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1965 Corvette Convertible
Having purchased this car out of a long slumber we are happy to
have brought it along to the stage you see today. The previous
owners had the car in their garage without use for an extended
period of time. We jumped at the chance to resurrect this 65
convertible. The gentleman who primarily owned this car was a gas
station owner and this was his pride and joy for years and
years.
When the car came to us, we got started- fluid change, carb
rebuild, flush fuel system, wires cap rotor, electric choke
conversion, 4 shock absorbers, valve stem seals, rebuild rear
axles, parking brakes renewed, hoses coolant, battery cutoff, new
Torque Thrust wheels, trans mounts, shift forks, fuel pump rebuild,
distributor, coil and a new shifter set up. Then we installed brand
new seat covers, a carpet kit and spruced up the interior. We now
have the car to the point where it can be driven and enjoyed but
still may need a bit of fettling over time.
Powered by a 283 (remember gas station owner...) this old Vette
goes down the road quite nicely with a great note from the side
pipes. Our goal was an affordable driver Vette with a good look and
we think we have pulled it off quite nicely.
The paint on this car is driver quality- it has its share of bumps
and bruises but for a knockaround, drive the wheels off it vette
that you can leave in the parking lot at the golf course it has a
nice look. The front bumpers are decent and the backs are faded.
They match the overall look of the car. The top bows are there with
an older vinyl top that is basically complete.
Want to drive it and enjoy it- good choice. Want to put an LS
motor, big block or a built 350, in it, and spruce it up- could be
another good choice. Lots of options here but we are fairly certain
there are not many 65's out there that run and drive at this price
point.
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized
possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel
expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially
misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel
expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold
our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet.... We pride
ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
