Vehicle Description

4811-NSH 1965 CHEVROLET CORVETTE MAKO SHARK TRIBUTE CONVERTIBLE

Inspired by the iconic 1961 experimental concept, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Mako Shark Tribute Convertible transforms the standard Corvette into something extraordinary. The Rally Red exterior gleams with purpose, accented by bold black decals that flow along its sculpted flanks. Six distinctive tail lights and the customized front nose with painted carbon graphics honor the original Mako Shark design. The stance is complemented by 18" Cragar S/S wheels wrapped in 225/50ZR18 front and 255/45ZR18 rear tires. Both manual convertible top and removable hard top options allow for versatile open-air or protected driving experiences, while the iconic side pipes add visual muscle to this already aggressive aesthetic.

The black vinyl interior offers a period-correct driving environment that balances comfort with function. Bucket seats provide excellent support while the factory gauges - including the high-horsepower 6500 RPM tachometer and 80-pound oil pressure gauge - display critical information. The console-mounted shifter sits within easy reach, and the upgraded steering wheel adds a modern touch to the classic interior. An AM/FM cassette player provides soundtrack options as you navigate with power steering. The tilt wheel allows for personalized driving positions.

A Target Master/Goodwrench 350 V8 crate engine powers this tribute with impressive force, featuring a 4-bolt main design with a 2-piece rear seal. Edelbrock components include the single 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold, with headers directing exhaust gases to the straight-piped side exhaust system. The 3-speed TH350 automatic transmission handles gear changes while Willwood power disc brakes with slotted/drilled rotors provide strong stopping ability. The suspension system maintains Corvette's famous handling with front coils with shocks and a rear mono leaf spring setup.
