Overview of 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible L79 For Sale by Owner

The second generation, or C2 Corvette, set many trends that would continue for several model cycles. Cue-up features such as pop-up headlamps, the twin-cowled dashboard, and the distinctive boat-tailed rear styling. That's why many people think of a C2 as the quintessential classic Corvette. While the 1963 model is most popular for its split-screen rear window, Chevy abandoned this feature after just one year because it caused limited rear vision. That's why you won't find it on this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible or any post-1963 Corvette. However, with 94,000 miles on the clock and an impressively well-maintained outlook, this 'Vette is perfect if you've always wanted a C2 to grace your driveway or garage.

Exterior and Interior

This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible wears a light green paint job and rolls on a set of five-spoke wheels with white-striped tires. You've got the pop-up headlamps in all their glory, and there's also a tan soft top to be dropped when the weather is lovely. The current owner says that the hardtop is not included with this car, but you can easily find one on the market if desired. The car looks spectacular with its soft top anyway, as the Larry Shinoda-penned lines have beautifully aged, much like a fine wine. Inside, there's a quintessential Corvette cabin, with two seats and the now iconic twin-cowled dashboard. Inspired by aircraft cockpits, you'll definitely see the influence in the layout of the dials ahead of the wood-rimmed steering wheel. Meanwhile, the center console hosts ventilation system controls and an interesting vertically-oriented push-button radio. Beneath these are a chrome-topped gear shifter and the shift pattern for the manual transmission. As for the passenger, there's nothing much to do apart from sit down, shut up, and hold on for the ride of their lives.

Engine

This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible packs a powerful 327ci V8 that could make 375hp in its day. Sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox, this car offers driving nirvana that few can match. You'll definitely have the time of your life behind the wheel with the V8 growling and some burnt rubber strategically laid down. Who needs modern creature conveniences when you've got oodles of old-school charm?
