1965 Chevrolet Corvette Base Convertible 2-Door 6.5L

1965 was a Pinnacle year for the Chevrolet Corvette's history. The very firstIntroduction of a Big Block into the infamous C2 Corvette. Already a place holder for one of the fastest production cars ever produced until 1965, he 396 ci 6.5L 425hp engine was just the icing on the cake! This was the only year for the 396 "Turbo Jet" engine! This was mated to a M-21 Muncie 4spd for maximum achievement of directing the power of the NEW 396 to the street. An optional F40 front suspension was also added with disc brakes for the 1965 corvette. Needless to say this a great year for any corvette or classic car collector to own. The ease of drivability on this year corvette is astonoshing compared to the previous models! This fully optioned 1965 corvette is better than it was new off the factory floor. This car is a date code correct engine and transmission; meaning the engine and transmission are brand new. Not the True numbers matching corvette you were hoping to hear. I myself truly appreciate the rarity of seeing a car 50 plus years old having the original block casting, eads and transmission but lets face the facts. Do you really want to be using a drivetrain that old. This car revs and drives as if it were brand new becuase it basically is. This corvette has undergone a recent "Frame-Off Nut & Bolt Restoration" all the way down to new chevrolet corvette ralley wheels. While maintaing the factory look and appeal a few technological upgrades were added. A fullly electronic MSD system was professionally installed, SD pro-billet Ignition distributor, SD electronic ignition module, SD coil, ll MSD wires and harnesses with AC-Delco spark plugs. The installation of this MSD system while still maintaining factory appearance has drastically increased the ease of drivability in this car! The manual cable ignition from the key tumbler back no longer exists giving you 99.9% more reliability than it had before. To enhance the tuning a 750 CFM classic carburetor was instaled as well. This allowed us to correctly tune the car to run smoother and faster than original! To harness the power of this 396 Turbo Jet we installed a sport suspension and handling package including a posi-trac rear end with a 3.55 gear ratio. Now you can lay all the power the ground and achieve it without losing control. If you want the perfect 1965 Corvette Convertible that is 100% TURN KEY READY! This is the one that you should own.
