For Sale: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

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.
