1965 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE W/ NUMBERS-MATCHING 327/365HP V8, 4-SPEED MANUAL, SIDE PIPES, 2 TOPS W/ WHITE SOFT TOP, OLDER FRAME-OFF RESTORED
Available and up for your consideration at JLD Auto Group is this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible! A gorgeous example, this '65 'Vette is finished in 'Nassau Blue' Exterior paint over a 'Blue' Interior, keeping the color theme beautifully consistent throughout. This is pleasantly contrasted by a White Soft Top, which is supplemented further by the inclusion of a 'Nassau Blue' hard top. Most importantly featured in this example is its power plant: a numbers-matching 327/365hp V8, which provides a wonderful small-block rumble through the also-equipped Side-Mounted Exhaust System. Mated to a 4-Speed Manual, the drivetrain is therefore quite impressive in this Corvette, sporting the second-highest horsepower output engine available for the model year. Beyond the drivetrain, this example also wears Goldline Tires wrapped around Knock-off Wheels, furthering the vintage look. These wheels reside alongside Power Brakes, thus rounding out an excellent specification for this older frame-off restored Corvette.
The 1965 model year saw the addition of hydraulic Sport-Master disc brakes at all four corners, complementing the high-performance drivetrains available for the '65 C2 Corvette. This is the primary driving performance improvement for 1965, along with the presence of the 365hp and 375hp-output 327 engines. The 365hp output V8 produces 350 lb-ft of torque at 4000 RPM, with peak horsepower being reached at 6200 RPM. This engine also uses mechanical lifters, and is equipped with a Holley four-barrel Model 4150 carburetor. Suspension is independent at all four corners, featuring direct double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers. Cosmetically, the 1965 model year features a smoother hood without depressions or distractions, yet adds louvers behind the front wheels to aid with air flow and cooling for the engine compartment. A new grille is also present, along with bright aluminum body sill moldings. Yet, the C2 design remains largely unchanged from previous years, maintaining its iconic state as the Sting Ray.
Accompanied by an Owner's Manual and 1 Key, this handsome older frame-off restored Corvette shows 84k miles on the odometer, and presents wonderfully overall with minor scratches in the removable hard top. If you seek a truly sporty classic convertible, this Corvette definitely fits the bill.
