This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was refurbished prior to being purchased by the owner in 2003, and it is finished in Ermine White over a white and blue interior. Power is provided by a 327ci L79 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the car is equipped with a white soft top, side exhaust pipes, 15″ cast aluminum wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, power windows, an AM/FM radio, and retractable headlights. This C2 Corvette convertible is now offered on dealer consignment with a jack and knock-off hammer as well as a clean Montana title.
The fiberglass body has been refinished in Ermine White, and features include a white convertible soft top, flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, Soft Ray tinted glass, a driver-side mirror, a side-exit exhaust system, and a retractable antenna. Transparent stone shields are installed behind each wheel, and the paint protection film on the rear of the quarter panels is discolored.
The 15″ cast aluminum wheels feature knock-off hubs and are mounted with Dayton goldline tires. The C2 was designed with fully independent suspension using upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in white leather accented by blue dash trim and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, a heater, an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, power windows, and lap belts.
The telescoping steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 2,600 miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci L79 V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor for a factory rating of 350 horsepower. The water pump and thermostat were replaced in preparation for the sale, according to the selling dealer.
The engine stamping is pictured. The HU suffix corresponds with a 350-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
