1965 Corvette C2 Convertible — Triple Black | 327/L76 365hp | 4-Speed | Hardtop Included $85,990 | 80,500 Miles | New York
Among the most coveted configurations a Mid-Year Corvette can wear, the Triple Black — black over black over black — is a combination that commands attention at shows and turns heads on the open road. This 1965 example wears that combination with authority, and backs it up with the substance that serious buyers demand.
The Engine Story The car left Bowling Green equipped with GM's optional L76 327/365 powerplant — confirmed by the factory-correct 6,500 RPM red-line tachometer and 80 lb. oil pressure gauge still under the hood. The current 327 has been rebuilt to full 365 specification by Jim Grubbs Motorsports of Valencia, CA, a shop with a reputation that needs no introduction in the Corvette community. Cam, valves, block, and heads were all addressed. Headers and a Mallory/MFD ignition system round out the package, delivering crisp, period-correct performance that's as satisfying in the twisties as it is at a concours.
The Restoration This car received a ground-up, off-frame restoration with the kind of obsessive attention to detail that separates a true restoration from a repaint. We're talking new windshield wiper nipples. A replaced glove compartment liner. When someone sweats those details, you can trust the big stuff was done right too. Every system — headlights, gauges, instruments, horn, clock — is fully operational. The car was recently serviced with fresh oil, filter, and lubrication.
The Hardtop One of the more desirable factory options of the era, the original hardtop is included and in excellent condition — a significant added value for both show presentation and collector completeness.
Why This Car Triple Black Mid-Years in this state of restoration don't come up often, and when they do, they move. This one is coming from a long-time New York enthusiast and collector who knows what he has — and has cared for it accordingly. Knock-off wheels add to the period-correct look that C2 purists appreciate. It's road-ready today and show-worthy this weekend.
