History About Chevrolet's Corvette Models:
The success of the 60s mid-year Sting Ray continued but with subtle
changes made in 1965. For 1965, Chevrolet chose to remove the hood
vents from the model and the trio of fender vents now effectively
reduced engine heat, and the wheel covers were redesigned. Also new
for that year was a 396ci/425hp big block that essentially replaced
the more expensive 327ci/375hp Fuel Injected motor. Also new were
standard 4-wheel disc brakes that improved braking considerably
along with extended longevity. It proved to be a successful year
and Chevrolet sold 23,562 examples!
