Description

1965 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible. This car has been Garage kept in my family in a smoke free environment since 1977. 1965 Corvettes are perhaps the biggest bargain of the mid-year period. They're not the iconic '63's yet they have all the upgrades that came in '65 most notably 4-wheel disc brakes and a small block rebuilt to factory specs. Obviously if you like driving your Corvette this car represents tremendous bang for the buck. If you drive any mid-year Corvette especially a Rally Red roadster you're going to get noticed. Subject to an exhaustive cosmetic and mechanical restoration this one remains in excellent condition that's well above what most folks consider a "driver". We did a professional frame off total restoration of the car some years back and it has always been garage kept. Just look at the vivid red paint so bright and pure that it makes you want to touch it just to see if it's still wet. The stainless spent some time with a buffing wheel and the shiny rocker trim looks freshly minted. The black interior was restored at the same time. The seat covers are correct and these seats are some of the most inviting buckets I've seen in a long time-they're just begging you to slide behind the wheel aren't they? The gauges are in beautiful condition. however the odometer is not working and the tachometer is after market. This vehicle is only driven about 200 miles per year. therefore the mileage is very low since the engine was rebuilt however I don't know exactly what the mileage is. The markings are so crisp that I'm left wondering if they even looked that good when they were new. Fresh carpets and center console add's to the factory-fresh feeling and the door panels are wonderfully done. The radio is a rare AM/FM unit with that unique vertical orientation and there's a black 3 spoke steering wheel as well. and the power antenna works! A bright white vinyl convertible top was installed at the same time and still looks quite good. The block is a 1967-vintage 327 4 bolt main rebuilt. The manifolds have obviously been coated to protect the cast iron and keep them looking good for years and they feed a reproduction exhaust system that sound's great. The Muncie M 20 4-speed has been fully rebuilt and out back a set of 3. 36 gears and possi-traction make it street friendly no matter what you are doing. Four-wheel discs were new in '65 and very welcome given the car's performance. This car is being sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied. .
