NCRS TOPFLIGHT CAR Score 97.4

There is really no such thing as an undesirable C2 but, a lot of incorrect Vettes
are running around pretending to be something they are not. That is why this
refreshing 1965 coupe is so appealing. Originally built with the first Big Block
396/425hp, Muncie 4-speed transmission, side pipes and Teakwood Steering
wheel. The mileage is exempt. It features a rare Goldwood Yellow (1,275) over
White Leather aesthetics that are both attractive and unique. And it is, after all,
still a Sting Ray, which means there is a built-in level of style, value and exclusivity
that most cars simply can not match. So, if you are in the market for a cool
rendition of a top-notch example of Americas favorite sports car, this incredible
coupe could be the literal interpretation of your next classic!

BODYWORK/TRIM
At the front of the car, bullet-style marker lights, show worthy bumpers and a
red, white and black cross-flag emblem cage a monochromatic, stainless-trimmed
grille. Behind that grille, a sculpted hood flows to original glass that is traced in
straight stainless trim and capped by white leather seats. At the sides of that
hood, rich fender emblems and a classy bowtie mirror ride between simple heat
extractors, traditional door handles and dent-free rocker guards. And at the back
of the car, monochromatic tail lamps illuminate a chrome-trimmed fuel filler and
correct Corvette STING RAY emblem above a chrome-trimmed tag bracket, and
two more show worthy bumpers.

Step close to this stunning color combination C2 it becomes obvious that its
fiberglass body has been correctly prepped and sanded, as there are no bonding
seams visible from any angle. Further examination reveals headlight doors that
fit well, lines that are crisp and aggressive shark fin fenders which show no signs
of rounding from an overzealous sander. And presently, thanks to excellent
finishing work, this Vette is one slick classic that looks much better than the day
it rolled out of the factory!

ENGINE
Tilt this Corvettes hood and you will find one of the most powerful naturally
aspirated V8s of its day, this numbers matching impressive big block utilizes a
forged crank, rods, pistons, a hot cam and solid lifters to turn stout 11.0 to 1
compression into a thundering 425 hp. At the top of the spry block, a polished
air cleaner funnels wind in to a vintage Holley carburetor. At the back of that
intake, chrome-cased ignition shoots spark through fresh wires, which lurk beneath
correct, cast iron exhaust manifolds. And at the front of those manifolds, a
Harrison-branded radiator circulates water through pliable GM hoses and authentic
tower clamps. The engine bay is as detailed as the rest of the car. Bright Chevy
Orange paint covers the block from its clean oil pan looks great against GMs
Satin Black bay. And, as expected, correct textures and decals are present and
accounted for.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Flip this big block Vette upside down and you will find a solid chassis that is
good enough to eat off of and today, looks much as it did when it rolled off the
showroom floor. At the ends of the car, a fully sorted double A-arm front and
independent rear suspension is completely detailed down to its fresh shocks,
correct springs. Above that rebuilt suspension, original, never-hit floor tubs, which
look factory fresh in every way, are bolted to a straight, Satin Black frame. At
the corners of those floors, power disc brakes mix good handling characteristics
with quick and solid stops. At the edges of those brakes, torque flows to the
pavement through clean knock-off wheels, which spin 7.75X15 4-Ply whitewalls.
And everything, from this Corvettes vivid inspection marks to its factory side pipe
exhaust system, is fully sorted and ready to roll!

INTERIOR
Open this Vettes airplane inspired doors and you will find a correct white interior
that perfectly accents the cars Goldwood Yellow facade. Seating comes courtesy
of firm leather buckets that are anchored between factory seatbelts, bright
stainless trim and a small chrome shifter. From the drivers perch, stock gauges
bleed onto their bordering panels in a march toward a center-mount clock, a
Delco AM/FM radio and an aluminum-trimmed glove box. Below those gauges,
like-new carpet is protected by thick floor mats and bright sill plates. Above
those sills, stainless-trimmed door panels hang modernist armrests below
traditional handles. In front of the driver, an attractive Teak steering wheel
laps a patriotic bowtie emblem. And behind the passengers, a fully carpeted
storage compartment boasts enough room for a weekends supply of clothes.

That means revitalized beauty's like this cool Goldwood yellow roadster could
become increasingly rare. With its spirited 396/425 numbers matching, 4-speed
and excellent restoration, this is a valuable car that you can drive and enjoy just
as Duntov intended. If that sounds like a good way to spend your Saturdays,
pick up the phone and become the proud owner of one of Chevrolets best!
