1965 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

Triple Diamond Awarded Corvette Convertible 327/300 4-speed Restored.

You are looking at one of the very few Corvettes in the country to have achieved the highest level of awards available to this Chevrolet icon. Awards such as NCRS Top Flight, Bloomington Gold, MCACN Gold, the prestigious Triple Diamond Award, AACA Senior, AACA Junior and the Hilton Head Island Concours D Elegance, Palmetto Award. Imagine owning a 65 Corvette Convertible that is so highly awarded and known for excellence!

The second-generation 1963-67 Corvette is an unqualified icon and quite likely the most-collectible of all classic Corvette lines. The 1965 model marked a major watershed in Corvette history with a long-awaited set of 4-wheel disc brakes, now standard equipment on the Vette.

This fine example was produced on January 5, 1965, and features a rare color combination including Ermine White paint, a white convertible top and a one of 216 maroon interior equipped Corvettes. Delivered new to Deanza Chevrolet in Riverside, California, this body-on restoration retains the matching-numbers original drivetrain comprising of a 327/300HP L75 V-8 engine and M20 4-speed manual transmission.

Other highlights of this 65 Vette include a correct shifter, AM/FM radio, correct seatbelts, along with a Bowtie mirror and glovebox door. Correct mechanical details include the air cleaner, distributor, spark plug shields, hoses and clamps, coolant-expansion tank, and radiator.

Other choice details, features, and options include power steering, correct shocks and shielding, T3 headlights, Posi-traction rear end, 4-wheel disc brakes and a period-correct set of 7.75x15 white-stripe tires.

Tough to find one that is this well done, this well-known and ready for any show.
