Vehicle Description
Here's a beautiful blue-on-blue 1965 Chevrolet Corvette convertible
with a cool white streak, side pipes, four-on-the-floor, and a ton
recently spent in restoration. This car is so hot they had to
install modern A/C just to cool it all down.
Nassau Blue is this car's original color, and it's a great look on
a Sting Ray ragtop. Like the hue's namesake, it's bright and sunny,
with a very nautical bend to it. On the Corvette's instantly
recognizable curves, it looks fabulous. The paint was refinished
during restoration, so there's a high level of gloss and shine
that's far superior to what the factory offered. The Sting Ray is
all about its creases, so the great paint on exceptional bodywork
that's seen here is essential. And of course there's all the
brightwork... From the thin bumpers to the cursive Corvette script
on the rear, it's all complete and clean. But arguably the best
part of the car is all the upgrades like the bold side pipes and
the iconic turbine knock-off style wheels. The stinger hood is a
great addition to this small-block car, because the cool white
streak is a cool match for the white folding roof - making this
Sting Ray striking with the top up or down.
Inside it feels like 1965 all over again. The investment in
restoration means that anything that was not up to standard was
replaced with the correct components. The blue theme continues with
factory-correct blue bucket seats, fresh door panels, and thick
carpeting. Corvettes are about being performance machines that keep
the driver comfortable and in control. That's why your left hand
rests on the three-spoke wood grain steering wheel, and your right
one falls perfectly onto the gearshift. And because the interior
was completely overhauled, the instruments are crisp and clear as
they dance to your high-horsepower symphony. And while the AM/FM
stereo can produce your favorite tunes, we really know the side
pipes will provide your favorite soundtrack. The best upgrade
inside is one that you will feel more than see. This one is running
modern R134a air conditioning, so you can stay cool while looking
cool in this classic 'Vette.
Open the clamshell hood and see the 327 cubic-inch V8 heart that
offers the kind of unobtrusive performance that made the small
block Chevy world famous. With smooth torque, it's the ideal
companion for cruising. Combine this with the four-speed manual
transmission, and you're in complete control over the powerband.
It's presented exceptionally well with a tidy engine bay that
features the correct details like the Chevy orange paint on the
block, Corvette script valve covers, ram's horn exhaust, and the
bright distributor shield and air cleaner. It's the kind of fresh
and stock appearance that makes you feel good that this also has a
period-correct block. On the road the '65's fully independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes means this classic Corvette
handles better than much younger sports cars out there.
Complete with owner's manual, original small block hood, and
restoration receipts, stick-shift C2s are always in demand, but one
what's been upgraded like this is an all-around irresistible
winner. Don't miss out, call today!!!
