1965 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the pinnacle of C2 performance and design, presented here following an extensive body-off, frame-off refurbishment. Finished in its striking Milano Maroon (MM) over matching maroon interior, this example captures the essence of mid-year Corvette styling with a cohesive, high-impact color combination that elevates both its visual presence and collector appeal. At the heart of this Corvette is the highly desirable 327ci L76 V8, factory-rated at 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor. This 1 of 2423 365 hp cars made. The engine stamping suffix HH confirms its authenticity as a 365HP variant, factory paired with a four-speed manual transmission, delivering a true driver-focused experience. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Positraction differential, enhancing traction and performance. The fiberglass body was removed from the frame during refurbishment and refinished to a high standard in Milano Maroon, showcasing exceptional depth and gloss. Signature C2 styling elements remain intact, including flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, tinted glass, and a power antenna, all contributing to its unmistakable presence. Rolling on 15-inch cast aluminum knock-off wheels, this Corvette is fitted with goldline tires, a period-correct detail that complements the car s overall presentation. As a 1965 model, it benefits from Corvette s first year of standard four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes, paired with a fully independent suspension system featuring upper and lower control arms up front and a rear three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring providing balanced handling and braking performance. Inside, the cabin has been fully refreshed using an Al Knoch interior kit, maintaining factory-correct aesthetics with high-quality materials. Features include maroon vinyl upholstery (Trim 435), a heater, AM/FM radio, analog clock, and lap belts. The refurbished instrumentation cluster includes a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature, all presented in excellent condition. The five-digit odometer shows just 7 miles, representing mileage accumulated since the completion of the restoration.
