The Chevrolet Corvette is an icon of American automobilia. Introduced in 1953 and currently in the eighth generation, it’s arguably the most well-known sports car in the US of A. Named after the Corvette class of small and maneuverable warships, the car’s hallmarks have been performance and handling prowess. The first seven generations used a front-engine rear-wheel-drive configuration whilst the current eighth generation shook things up by moving the engine to a rear-mid configuration. Classic Corvettes are highly demanded and considered great investments too. Here’s a nice 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 327ci if you are looking for a Corvette. Coming from Florida, it’s got just 360 miles on its new crate motor, and with a few jobs to be done, is a great option as a mild project car.
Styled by Larry Shinoda, the second generation ran between 1963 and 1967, and was where the iconic ‘Sting Ray’ tag was first introduced. Fiberglass exterior panels are supported by more steel under the skin than the first generation for added rigidity and better handling. This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 327ci showcases those hallmark lines in an eye-catching Rally Red paintwork, including the muscular flanks, sculpted body styling that was easily enabled by the fiberglass panels, the oh-so-desirable pop-up headlamps, and side gills. This car is reportedly used as a convertible since it’s convertible top is said to be in great shape. The hardtop will be included in the sale but the seller reports that it needs a repaint as it did not receive one when the rest of the car did. The seals on the hardtop need replacement as well. The interior of this Corvette features black leather and showcases the ‘twin-cowl’ aircraft-inspired dash. The seller reports that there is a new windshield wiper switch that needs to be fixed as well.
The second-generation Corvette came with a range of gasoline V8 options ranging from 327ci (5.4L) to 427ci (7.0L). This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 327ci has received a new 327ci V8 crate engine that sends drive to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The crate motor reportedly has just 360 miles on it. Another notable factor of the second generation is that it replaced the first generation’s solid axle with a form of independent rear suspension that included U-jointed half shafts, a frame-mounted differential cushioned with rubber struts, and a transverse leaf spring.
