Overview of 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 For Sale by Owner

Few American sports cars command the same respect as the C2 Corvette, and this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod elevates an already legendary platform into a world-class custom performance machine. While its unmistakable Sting Ray silhouette pays homage to one of the most celebrated Corvette generations ever built, nearly every aspect of the driving experience has been transformed through carefully selected modern components. A fuel-injected LS3 V8, upgraded suspension, race-inspired braking system, and bespoke interior come together to create a Corvette that delivers the visceral excitement of a 1960s icon with the confidence, reliability, and refinement expected from a contemporary performance car. Finished in a breathtaking custom Wet Silver paint with a bold Red interior and matching Stinger hood stripe, this is far more than a restored classic—it’s a meticulously engineered restomod built to impress on the concours lawn, dominate the boulevard, and carve through winding roads with equal confidence.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is a masterclass in tasteful customization. Draped in a stunning Wet Silver custom paint finish, the timeless C2 bodywork is accentuated by a striking Red Stinger hood stripe, giving the car an unmistakable high-performance presence. Sitting low over a set of modern aftermarket wheels, the Corvette benefits from a Van Steel coilover suspension conversion that dramatically improves both stance and handling. Behind the wheels are substantial Wilwood 6-piston disc brakes with red calipers, providing stopping power worthy of the performance beneath the hood. Mini-tubbed rear wheel wells accommodate a more aggressive wheel and tire package, subtly hinting that this is no ordinary mid-year Corvette. Every modification has been executed with restraint and purpose, preserving Bill Mitchell’s legendary design while enhancing it in all the right ways. The interior of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is equally impressive, blending handcrafted craftsmanship with modern technology. Rich Red upholstery has been fitted throughout the cabin, creating a dramatic contrast against the silver exterior while elevating the car’s luxury appeal. A Dakota Digital gauge system seamlessly integrates contemporary instrumentation into the factory-inspired dashboard, delivering precision without sacrificing the Corvette’s classic aesthetic. An aftermarket Bluetooth-compatible audio system discreetly adds modern connectivity, allowing occupants to enjoy today’s conveniences while surrounded by one of America’s most iconic sports car interiors. Every detail reflects a build focused on preserving the soul of the C2 while making it a genuinely enjoyable machine to drive every day.

Engine

Nestled beneath the iconic forward-tilting hood is the heart of this transformation—a 6.2L LS3 V8 with electronic fuel injection, an engine revered for its exceptional combination of reliability, drivability, and exhilarating performance. Mated to a heavy-duty 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers effortless acceleration and the kind of smooth operation that encourages long-distance cruising just as much as spirited backroad driving. An aftermarket performance exhaust gives the LS3 a deep, authoritative soundtrack befitting its capability, while the upgraded Van Steel coilover suspension and Wilwood 6-piston braking system ensure the chassis is fully equipped to harness the engine’s output. Unlike many classic Corvettes that require compromise behind the wheel, this professionally built restomod offers modern sports car performance wrapped in one of the most iconic automotive designs ever created—delivering an experience that is every bit as breathtaking as its appearance.

1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

For Sale
ASK: $13,299
Miles: 219,621
Estimated: $124.22/mo

The 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 marked a major turning point for Chevrolet's legendary pony car, introducing the aluminum-block LS1 V8 and bringing a new level of performance to the fourth-generation F-body platform. Finished in Arctic White over Dark Gray, this particular Z28 stands out with an extensive engine and drivetrain rebuild performed by LSxperts at approximately 198,000 miles. According to the current owner, the entire drivetrain was rebuilt, including engine reboring, returning the mechanical components to a refreshed condition approximately 21,000 miles ago. While the chassis shows approximately 219,621 miles, the rebuilt powertrain has accumulated only around 21,600 miles since the work was completed. Performance enhancements include a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 1 camshaft kit, upgraded cooling components, a true dual glass-packed exhaust system, and dyno tuning to complement its modified LS1 powerplant. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, and factory 16-inch chrome aluminum wheels, it delivers the ingredients that made the LS-powered Camaro a favorite among American performance enthusiasts. Additional highlights include a customized audio system, ambient interior lighting, and available vehicle build documentation. For enthusiasts who appreciate naturally aspirated V8 performance, the involvement of a manual gearbox, and the extensive tuning potential of the LS platform, this Z28 offers an exciting combination of classic F-body character and a substantially refreshed drivetrain.
