Vehicle Original VIN : 194375S103751
INTRODUCTION: This is a Corvette that stops you in your tracks! The Milano Maroon Metallic paint paired with the crisp white interior is a stunning color combination, and the fresh restoration has it looking absolutely showroom clean. It's the real deal with its #s-matching drivetrain, L76- 365 horsepower 327, 4-speed, 4.11 Posi, and chambered exhaust, making it every bit as exhilarating to drive as it is to admire.
EXTERIOR: Man, is this a good looking Corvette ! The 1965 C2 coupe is one of the most iconic automotive designs ever created, with its sleek boat tail styling, dramatic curved rear window, and hidden headlights. This example is especially impressive. The body is laser straight, with no noticeable damage, and the panel alignment is excellent. The headlights operate properly, the doors shut with a solid, precise feel, and the overall fit and finish are outstanding. It has been refinished in its original Milano Maroon Metallic, and the quality of the paint is exceptional- arguably better than when it left the factory. The finish is smooth, glossy, and beautifully laid out. Nearly all of the chrome and trim appears to have been restored or replaced, including the stainless moldings around the windows, the fuel filler door, and the correct power antenna. It is also equipped with the desirable optional backup lights. The front and rear glass have been replaced with correctly marked reproduction pieces, while the weatherstrips and seals have all been replaced. Completing the look are a set of reproduction BFGoodrich Goldline tires wrapped around mint spinner wheel covers, giving this Corvette the authentic showroom appearance it deserves.
INTERIOR: The white interior against the rich maroon exterior is a stunning combination, and this one is exceptionally crisp and clean. The seats immediately stand out with their firm cushions and new, wrinkle free upholstery, giving the cabin a fresh, factory new appearance. The white door panels, sun visors, and headliner have all been replaced as well. The entire instrument panel has been beautifully restored. The dash pads are new, the gauges have been restored, and even the factory clock is working. The AM/FM radio and power antenna both function properly, while the glove box door and liner have been replaced. Down on the console is the correct reverse lockout shifter, and the interior is finished with reproduction Bow Tie seat belts and fresh carpet from front to back. Every detail comes together to create a beautifully restored interior that's as inviting as it is authentic.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has been completely restored and detailed to factory specifications, presenting as though it just rolled off the showroom floor. At its heart is the VIN # matching 327 making 365 horsepower. It features solid lifters, high-compression pistons, the correct factory aluminum high rise intake, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor. The engine is easily identified by its distinctive finned aluminum Corvette valve covers, a hallmark of the high horsepower engines. The attention to detail throughout is outstanding. It retains the correct fuel filter, choke tube, and ignition shielding, along with the factory deep-groove pulleys designed to keep the belts in place during high-RPM driving. Every component appears fresh, including the correctly dated radiator and expansion tank, reproduction hoses, the proper air cleaner assembly, and all the brackets, hardware, and finishes. It's an exceptionally authentic, factory correct engine bay that's worthy of the outstanding Corvette it powers.
UNDERSIDE: It certainly appears this Corvette received a body-off-frame restoration, and the results are outstanding. The chassis is exceptionally clean and neatly detailed from front to back. It features the Corvette's fully independent suspension at all four corners, which is in excellent working order. 1965 was the first year for factory disc brakes, and it's at all 4 wheels. The emergency brake assembly is complete and functional, and the optional chambered off-road exhaust gives the car its unmistakable aggressive growl. Looking up at the drivetrain, the engine is spotless in the correct Chevy Orange finish. It's backed by the correct M20 4-speed manual transmission and the original 4.11 Positraction rear end, complete with the proper casting dates and identification codes. The original fiberglass floor panels appear to have been well preserved and have been cleaned up beautifully. Even the spare tire carrier is complete and properly in place, rounding out an underside that's every bit as impressive as the rest of this beautifully restored Corvette.

CONCLUSION: This beautiful Corvette has the kind of crisp, detailed restoration that I really appreciate. It's exceptionally clean, factory correct, and beautifully presented. And when you're not admiring it in the garage or at a car show, you can be out shifting through the gears, listening to the unmistakable sound of the chambered exhaust behind that #s-matching L76 365 horsepower engine. It's the kind of Corvette that's just as exciting to drive as it is to own.
