Background Story of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette

Overview of 1965 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

Since the 1950s, the Chevrolet Corvette has been an emblem of American performance and aesthetic excellence. Stepping into the driver's seat of any Corvette is akin to encountering an American hero. If you seek the quintessential experience of a '60s icon, look no further than this meticulously restored, numbers matching 1965 Chevrolet Corvette. Boasting a reported 85,000 miles on the odometer, this legendary specimen promises to elevate your driveway game, delivering the iconic performance and complete originality characteristic of the era.

Exterior and Interior

The second-generation Corvette design, both breathtaking and purposeful, underwent meticulous refinement in a wind tunnel. Resplendent in a sleek Tuxedo Black exterior, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette restoration is a testament to flawless craftsmanship. A full frame-off restoration in 2020 has rendered it in pristine condition, adorned with new chrome parts that gleam, and a fresh black convertible top that adds a touch of sophistication. The factory styling seamlessly extends into the black interior, where comfort meets aesthetics. Black leather seats provide a luxurious haven, complemented by original features like the factory steering wheel and dashboard. Tasteful upgrades, including the Hurst gear shifter, enhance the overall driving experience.

Engine

V8 Engine power takes center stage in the performance realm of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette restoration. Under the hood lies a 396ci V8 Turbo-Jet 425HP engine. The powerplant has undergone a revitalizing transformation, with a suite of enhancements including a new oil pump, gaskets, valve covers, air filter, and spark plugs. Cooling capabilities have been significantly improved, thanks to a new radiator, hoses, and water pump, while handling benefits from new leaf springs and a meticulously tuned rear-end differential with 4:11 gears. Power delivery is orchestrated through a 4-speed manual transmission accentuated by a Hurst Shifter, coupled with a high-clamp clutch for smooth and precise gear shifts, ensuring a driving experience that resonates with the golden era of classic American muscle.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$89,999
SOLD

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

1977 Chevrolet Corvette

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$20,000
SOLD

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$109,999

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.

1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$49,989

The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
