Vehicle Description
This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette convertible has its numbers-matching
V8, four-on-the-floor, and both tops. So it's already quite
desirable before you see the awesome color combo of the
one-year-only paint.
The trim tag tells us this 'Vette was originally born in Glen
Green, which was a single-year offering. That immediately makes
this one quite attractive. We like how it's presented today where a
later respray gives this convertible a good gloss in the sunshine,
but the overall look will never make you too nervous to enjoy the
drive. That's good on a classic that runs as strong as this one. So
if you're obsessed with a show-stopper, this has the crisp body
lines that give you good fundamentals for any improvements. But for
the rest of us, it's already ideal on day one. And this deep and
dark green makes for a great backdrop for the bright chrome
bumpers, windshield frame, rockers, and dual exhaust tips. And of
course, the reproduction aluminum wheels with knock-off hubs really
stand out, too.
It's great to find a Sting Ray that offers you the choice of a
folding soft top in an attractive tan as well as offer a coupe-like
look of a removable hardtop. But really, we know these are best
when open to the world. That's why the back interior is such a
stunner. You can tell there was a solid investment here. The seats,
carpeting, door panels, dash, and other fundamentals look so good.
You'll even appreciate the details, like the working courtesy
light, clock, and power antenna. Even the classic Delco AM/FM radio
is providing the tunes. The woodgrain steering wheel feels great in
your left hand, your right one is immediately attracted to the
chrome shifter, and all the gauges show crisp markings that let you
keep an eye on the engine's status.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V8. The whole
engine bay has a great stock-style look to it. This V8 fires up
eagerly as it inhales deeply with the four-barrel carburetor. It
has the kind of quality feel where you can tell by more than just
the appearance that there have been the right investments along the
way. The four-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly to give you
the ideal balance of control and easy cruising nature. The same
goes for the full suspension package with a fully independent
setup, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes.
Complete with service manuals, this is the strong-driving classic
Corvette that has rarity and distinction. That makes for a terrific
package you need to get your hands on right now.
