1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - L76 365 HP - 4-Speed
Financing available, trades considered.
This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a highly desirable
example, powered by the rare and sought-after L76 327/365 HP V8,
paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Both the engine
and transmission retain their partial VIN stampings, further
supporting the car's authenticity. Finished in Rally Red over a
black interior with a white soft top, this Corvette presents
beautifully and delivers the performance and driving character that
define the mid-year cars.
The car was owned by a dedicated Corvette enthusiast from 1979
until recently, a long-term stewardship that speaks to the care and
appreciation it has received over the decades. During that time,
the car underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration, returning
it to excellent condition while retaining the authentic feel of a
true 1965 Corvette.
Under the hood, the L76 327 cubic-inch V8, factory rated at 365
horsepower, runs exceptionally well, offering crisp throttle
response and strong, smooth power throughout the rev range. The
engine bay is highly detailed and well presented, reflecting the
quality and attention to detail of the restoration. Power is
delivered through the Muncie 4-speed to a 4.11 rear axle ratio,
providing strong acceleration and an engaging driving experience
true to the performance heritage of the L76 cars.
The Rally Red exterior finish has outstanding presence and is
complemented by a clean black interior and contrasting white soft
top, a timeless and highly desirable color combination. The
interior shows very well, and the exterior, chrome, and brightwork
all present in excellent overall condition.
On the road, this Corvette stands out as one of the nicest driving
examples, with a strong-running L76 engine and the engaging,
mechanical feel that only a 4-speed mid-year Corvette can
provide.
From its long-term enthusiast ownership to its frame-off
restoration, matching stampings, detailed engine bay, and
exceptional drivability, this Corvette offers a compelling package
for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
We consider trades in collector vehicles, aircraft, firearms and
gold & silver bullion.
