Just a quick glance at this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Austin Powers Tribute will take you back in time to a more
flamboyant and carefree era! Yep, this Chevy absolute radiates
circa-'60s Swinging London style, dressed out in a multi-layer wrap
that pays homage to its cinematic inspiration and is contrasted
nicely with clean chrome bumpers and side pipes. But rest assured
that this convertible has more to offer than just sheer visual
novelty. It's a truly fun ride, holding the promise of plenty of
open-air, fun filled miles and powered by a vital V8!
The interior has been revitalized while retaining the inviting,
driver-centric appearance that characterized the 'Vettes from this
era. The low-backed bucket seats look good with minor wear noticed.
A factory-style wheel still sits on the column and as you peer
through it, you'll see a full complement of original gauges in the
instrument cluster, joined by an aftermarket Bosch temperature
gauge at the lower left side of the dash. An AM/FM stereo sits at
the center to provide the soundtrack for your journeys.
Beneath that colorful hood, the compartment is nicely sorted,
framing the fresh Jasper 350-cubic-inch V8 at its center perfectly.
The powerplant was a strong performer to begin with and enhanced
with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Victor Jr. intake
manifold, it's now even more so. The engine pairs with a Muncie
4-speed manual transmission for an era-appropriate, "hands-on"
experience that's sure to bring a smile to your face for years to
come. An upgraded MSD ignition has been added to maximize available
spark, while up front, a sizable aluminum radiator pairs with an
electric fan to keep operating temperatures in check. Power
steering makes for easy navigation, while four-wheel disc brakes
feature plenty of fade-resistant stopping ability.
