Description

1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 327/365hp Roadster
s/n 194675S116320, Engine no. FO330HK (Casting date 3782870)
Rally Red with Red Leather Interior

Introduced for the 1963 model year, the C2 generation of Corvette was an instant hit. The car carried over the excellent engines from 1962, but the remainder of the car was new, with now iconic styling and independent rear suspension. In 1963 and 1964, all cars were equipped with 327cid engines, and among the most powerful and desirable of these was the 365hp solid lifter variant. In 1965, the Corvette received disc brakes all around for the first time, addressing a longtime area of criticism of the car, particularly considering its significant power ratings.

This particular example is a very correct, extremely well optioned, and beautifully restored example. Just 138 Convertible were constructed in 1965 with air conditioning as well as the 365hp engine option. This example is also optioned with rare power windows (A31), off road exhaust system (N11), AM/FM Radio (U69), power antenna, and Posi-traction rear end with the 4.11 ratio (G81).

According to the previous owner, the car was restored by an NCRS judge, and presents beautifully today. The bonding strips on all four corners appear intact, and the body has beautifully straight lines with excellent fitment throughout. The paint is done to the high standards that cars of this value deserve today. The brightwork, emblems, and window glass are all in very good condition. The engine bay is highly correct, and nicely detailed. The interior was also included in the restoration, and presents beautifully. The car shows 70,994 miles on the odometer, which is quite possibly correct from new, but we cannot confirm this with paperwork.

The car also drives well, and has the feel of a well restored and sorted car. The engine has more than sufficient power and the correct solid lifter sound. When inspected critically by Corvette experts, the car shines. We have made every effort to supply the correct information on the car, but welcome any expert or NCRS judge to look at the car for a perspective buyer.

Included with the car is a complete hard top in good, unrestored condition, and extra set of original hubcaps, and a reprinted manual and radio supplement in the Chevrolet plastic bag.

As classic car values continue to increase, it is highly correct examples of limited production, such as this example, which are likely to enjoy the most substantial appreciation.
