BODY OVERVIEW:
This ’65 Corvette convertible wears its curves proudly, with the sleek profile that made the C2 a design icon. The body is clean, straight, and shows well from every angle. Both tops—soft and hard—are included, and the matching Rally Red hardtop makes for a stunning look when in place. This car is a proper representation of Corvette’s golden era!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Recently refinished in its factory Rally Red, the paint shines brilliantly and makes a strong first impression. The repaint was done with care, and the color looks vibrant in both sunlight and shade. Overall, the finish presents extremely well and complements the car’s original character very nicely.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black vinyl interior is clean and correct, showing minor wear consistent with the car’s age and believed mileage. The factory telescopic steering wheel and rare power windows add vintage luxury. Overall, the cabin is inviting and driver-focused. A tear in the passenger side of the soft top is noted, but does not detract from the car’s usability when the top is down or the hardtop is installed.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 327 L75 small-block, paired to the original 4-speed manual transmission. Power flows through the drivetrain with the kind of smooth urgency Corvette lovers expect. Power disc brakes at all four corners ensure comfortable stopping. The engine runs strong, and this car is ready to rock and roll! The tires are period-correct bias ply but are aged and best suited for display; we recommend replacing them for safe driving.
