1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Description

A great classic means a high degree of originality while still offer a high degree of drivability. So you'll be happy to read that this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray coupe that caught your eye with its beautiful paint is also a numbers-matching, four-speed car that still loves the open road. Milano Maroon is the perfect color for the right sort of vintage 'Vette buyer. It keeps the same attention grabbing attitude of the red cars that the... Corvette community loves, but the darker finish gives it a level of sophistication that makes this Sting Ray easy to park next to European classics, too. Of course, both crowds will love that this is the factory-correct color presented on crisp body with plenty of shine. 1965 was the first year of the completely smooth hood. It left the Corvette free from a lot of ornamentation, and the result is an elegantly restrained use of chrome for '60s standards. The sparing use of brightwork also means it's important that it looks especially nice in places like the genuine knock-off wheels, rockers, and two-piece front and rear bumpers. The factory-correct black interior goes nicely with the darker red tones of the exterior. And the crispness of the bucket seats, dash, and doors are more signs of a classic coupe treated with respect. Your left hand grabs the three-spoke wood rim sports steering wheel, and beyond that is the full gauges include the large speedometer and very useful tachometer. But your right hand gets the real treat. The four-speed manual transmission was the correct choice for your Corvette if you love to drive, and this is the original numbers-matching unit. Plus, there's just something cool about grabbing the big polished shifter housed in the original bright console. Lift the hood for a correct and crisp presentation. This is the numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V8 of the Sting Ray's upgraded L75 motor with an advertised 300 hp rating. It has a great look with the Chevy orange on the block, bright pie dish air cleaner, shining ignition shield, and Corvette script valve covers. Plus, you have the right maintenance with newer components like the hoses, wires, and even the radiator. On the road, this motor has the right amount of snarl through the dual exhaust pipes as you row through all four forward speeds. It's the kind of sound that's perfect for a little Saturday night intimidation, but it never gets old when spending all-day Sunday driving the backroads. This great driving attitude is backed up by the power steering, a fully independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes - 1965 was the first year they were standard and a big reason why these are the superior driving C2s. The sale comes complete with NCRS docs and maintenance receipts. This is a great classic presentation if you love power, distinction, and the open road. Don't miss this Sting Ray, call today!
