This is a restored 1965 Corvette Convertible with the iconic L79
327 cid 4-Speed that would be terrific for local and regional shows
or for tours. We love the Nassau Blue with matching blue vinyl
interior. She is well optioned with a factory hardtop, side pipes
and knock-off wheels. While the early history of this Corvette is
unknown, Thomas Citrani of Winter Garden, FL acquired her in about
2017 and commenced a restoration. The restoration quality is very
nice, excellent for regional shows and touring. By 2021, she was
acquired by Fred Marcus from El Paso, TX. The Nassau Blue livery
(Paint Code FF) has excellent shine and luster and is in touring
condition today. There is one small scratch on the passenger side
front fender that is noticeable upon close inspection. The Nassau
Blue paint is its original and correct factory color. The exterior
and matching factory hard top overall show very well. The white
soft top is in overall good condition. Much of the chrome has also
been restored and shows very well. The side pipes are said to be
original equipment and look fantastic as well as adding a beautiful
exhaust note. The knock-off wheels and redline tires are a recent
addition and are in excellent condition. The two-tone hood was
updated to a 1967 version during the restoration. The Blue Vinyl
(Trim Code 414B) interior was also restored and appears in very
nice condition today. The Blue carpet appears in new condition. She
has the optional adjustable telescoping steering column and is
complete with the teak steering wheel. This Corvette was ordered
new with the higher performance L79 engine package. The L79 is the
higher output 360 hp 327 cid V8 with a single four-barrel
carburetor. The power is transmitted through its close throw
four-speed transmission and Positraction. The engine was rebuilt
and balanced and blueprinted in July of 2020 and has accumulated
about 2,000 miles since. The engine rebuild was performed by Ben
Donhoff Automotive in Melbourne, FL. The engine shows its original
engine numbers as from the factory, but we have been told that the
block is a replacement over counter exchange. The car comes
complete with numerous servicing and engine rebuild receipts and a
parts catalogue. For more information and details, please call,
text or email Chip Henson at 1.602.509.4776 or

inspection at our Phoenix showroom.
