Vtg 1965 CORVETTE Convertible C2 Roadster (Big Block 454)

1965 Chevrolet Corvette Description

1965 Corvette Convertible available for the 1st time ever FOR SALE. 100% Southern California (garage) loved car with ZERO rust.

1-Owner CA Estate 1965 Corvette previously owned by a Chevy Mechanic of 40+ Years who had stopped driving the car in 2005 as he became disabled. It was his pride and joy and ALWAYS garaged. An entire binder exists with receipts and pictures of the Vette at car shows in the 70-80s. The Corvette is being sold as-is but has just been thoroughly serviced, re-registered, insured, tagged and is road ready.

Currently, the Corvette starts immediately and is running great with no leaks / no smoke. It has some rare options and front-end customization including a rare set of 1st Generation American Racing Torq-Thrust D Rims (the best money could buy in the 60s).

1970s paint is older in average crazing condition in a super cool retro Root Beer Metallic (Russet Firemist) (touch-ups seen when up close). Interior appears to be all original / unrestored with some wear and cracking of the leather but still very usable & comfortable. Soft Top closes tight and presents in Very Good Condition - the rear plastic window has some sun damage.

Prior to this listing, we spent over $10K mechanically bringing the car back to outstanding driving condition including the entire brake, ignition, cooling and fuel system (incl a rebuilt carb) - entire clutch system ALSO NEW. This Vette is (very) fast (tuned big block) and the compression strong (Everything works - some minor issues are noted below). NO Rust damage.

Overall a GREAT Daily Driver. The Corvette is registered in CA, with a clean title and current 2018 tags. BTW, the car is VERY FAST and located in Hollywood. An entire book of receipts and documentation is included going back to the late 1960s.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for a viewing / test drive / questions, etc. Buyers with fewer than 10 feedback should contact me prior to bidding. Please bid with integrity and the intention of paying.

Local Buyers welcome - Seller will also assist Buyer with shipping and loading instructions. Please keep in mind that the spare engine block will require extra space and special handling (with additional fees) and may be left behind if so desired.
