Mechanical

This engine gives sprightly around-town performance and cruises at highway speeds at no more than an easy loaf. Those 327s had new cylinder heads with bigger inlet valves, used hydraulic valve lifters, wedge-type combustion chambers, long-life rams head cast iron exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust system, and a 4-barrel carb.

Ours has the chrome open air cleaner, chrome valve covers, orange painted block, H.D. radiator, and backed by a Muncie 4-speed and a nice chassis with all the great parts.

Interior

This Sting Ray offers a completely luxurious driving environment. For 1965, the interior features new trim of durable expanded vinyl with a more subtle texture of white and has individual twin bucket-type seats that have a factory bolster-like design for more seating comfort and better lateral support.

The red/white/black theme extends to the black carpet, white door panels, and dual sun visors with controls for the outside-air-type heater and defroster located on the central console along with chrome 4-speed shifter and the electrical clock and radio controls and vent controls that are located under the instrument panel on each side of the steering column.

Exterior

The styling changes on our 1965 Sting Ray are beautiful and ours is covered with its bright red paint job flowing over the hood and louvers behind the front wheels that help increase air flow through the engine compartment, giving it both an aggressive and sophisticated look.

All the emblems, the bumpers and taillights, door handles, the flip-up gas cap, and the white convertible top remain in great condition as well as the correct 15-inch Rallye wheels with chrome trim rings and caps and BF Goodrich raised white letter Radial TA tires which give it a great ride with superior handling.
