For Sale at Auction: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette in Palm Beach, Florida

This custom 1965 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a 502ci ZZ crate big-block engine equipped with ceramic-coated Hooker long-tube headers, an Accel Gen7 ECU with DFI and an Accel DFI Dual Sync distributor. Power is delivered through a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission with hydraulic Wilwood master cylinder and throw-out bearing. Cooling is provided by a DeWitts big-block radiator with dual electric fans. The electrical system includes a 65-amp Powermaster alternator, XS Torque starter and Lectric Limited wiring harnesses for the front, rear and dash with fuse block. Fuel is supplied by an OEM fuel tank fitted with an ATL Black Box in-tank fuel pump kit. This Corvette underwent a body-off rebuild and rides on a modified 1965 powder-coated chassis with rebuilt or replaced suspension components and bushings. The front suspension features a double wishbone setup with adjustable coilover shocks, custom sway bar and Mustang II power rack-and-pinion steering. The rear suspension utilizes a four-link setup with fiberglass mono leaf spring and carbon-fiber half shafts. Stopping is handled by Wilwood calipers with dual master cylinder and new brake lines. The exterior is refinished in three-stage GM paint code WA252F and rides on American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with BFGoodrich tires. The interior features new leather seat covers, foam and support springs, along with sound and heat insulation beneath the carpeting. A Pioneer Bluetooth hands-free radio is mounted in the glove box. Additional details include a heater delete plate and no air conditioning and no emergency brake installed, although the brake lever and cable are included. According to the seller, the ammeter is inoperative due to the one-wire alternator connection, and the fuel gauge operates intermittently.
