Posted 12/26/2019

Here is a gorgeous 1965 Corvette coupe. This 4-speed model runs and drives
as good as it looks, with all the flair you would expect from a mid-year Corvette.
It has been a California car most of its life (including 30+ years with the same
owner). This has helped keep the frame and birdcage solid and rust-free. Further,
this example has a nice straight body with good panel gaps throughout. It has
been repainted its original Silver Pearl which looks so good on the C2 design,
especially with the knock-off wheels and accenting chrome.

The engine was originally a 327ci 365hp solid lifter L76. This has been replaced
with a rebuilt 327ci using the correct block casting (3782870) topped with 1963
fuelie heads! There is also a Holley Street Dominator aluminum intake and
Edelbrock carburetor with electric choke. The engine retains its transistorized
ignition and all factory shielding. Note the finned Corvette valve covers and
matching finned air cleaner. There is also a modern aluminum radiator for better cooling.

The 4-speed Muncie M21 close ratio transmission and aluminum bellhousing
appear original to the car, as does the 3.70 rear end. Being a 1965, this model
represents the first Corvette with 4-wheel disc brakes. This model has a power
booster as well, making for good stopping power. The parking brake works too
(which is not always the case on old Corvettes). The front suspension recently
received new ball joints, control arm pivots, and sway bar links. Tires are Michelin
P215/70R15 all around.

The factory black vinyl interior has been redone as well. It is a great place from
which to experience this wonderful car. The seats are quite comfortable, and
the teakwood steering wheel always looks great on a C2! Note the telescoping
steering column too. The carpet, door panels, dash, and headliner are all excellent.
The original sound system has been replaced with a Pioneer head unit in the
glove box with remote control, along with an aftermarket Corvette sound bar
behind the seats and an original style power antenna. This is a nice package
that provides great sound without cutting anything up. The horn, heater, defroster,
and rear blower motor are all functional. All lights and headlight motors work
properly as well.

This is a quality mid-year Corvette that can do it all. It is an excellent blend of
condition and drivability. You can take it to shows and do quite well. Or just run
down to the drive-in on a nice summer night. Whatever you like best, this Corvette
will have you doing it in comfort and style.
