- Dual-Top Option: Black convertible top and matching Rally Red removable hardtop.

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 are included in the sale, and the matching Rally Red hardtop gives the car an aggressive, coupe-like appearance when installed. It is a striking, authentic representation of Corvette’s golden era.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Recently refinished in Rally Red, the paint shines brilliantly and makes a strong first impression. The finish is deep and vibrant, catching the light perfectly whether you are driving in the sun or parked at a show. It complements the car's original character and road presence exceptionally well.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black vinyl interior is clean, correct, and shows an honest patina consistent with the vehicle's age and low believed mileage. The factory telescopic steering wheel and rare power windows provide a touch of vintage luxury. The cabin is highly inviting and driver-focused. Please note a tear in the passenger side of the soft top, though the car is best enjoyed with the top down or the hardtop installed.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood sits the original, numbers-matching 327 L75 small-block V8, paired with the original 4-speed manual transmission. Power flows through the drivetrain with the kind of smooth urgency and mechanical purity Corvette lovers expect. Power disc brakes at all four corners bring the car to a halt with ease. The engine runs strong, fires up reliably, and the car is ready to hit the road!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
- Immediate Equity: Priced to account for minor sorting, compared to fully restored examples fetching upwards of $100,000.
- Numbers-Matching Core: An investment-grade powertrain featuring the desirable 327/300hp engine.
- Rare Factory Options: Power windows and the telescopic wheel make this a desirable specification.
- Sensational Colorway: The Rally Red-on-Red hardtop combination is a major head-turner.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
- Minor Electrical Sorting Needed: Horn is currently inoperative which is the perfect weekend sorting project for the next caretaker.
- Soft Top Condition: The soft top shows wear and has a tear, meaning it's best utilized as an emergency top or replaced down the road.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
-
A fresh set of tires for reliable long-distance cruising.
-
Basic electrical troubleshooting for the horn and front turn signals.
-
Optional: Soft top repair or replacement depending on your presentation needs.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This C2 is perfect for the hands-on enthusiast, investor, or collector who wants a highly original, numbers-matching roadster at an accessible entry point. If you don't mind spending a few hours in the garage or a local shop sorting out minor items to build thousands of dollars in value, this car represents an incredible opportunity.
