From the start, the Chevrolet Corvette was truly unique. Based on the EX-122 concept of 1952, the Corvette remains one of the few GM Motorama designs with their space age, show-car styling virtually unmodified for production. Its highly anticipated early-1953 introduction in the ballroom of New York’s Waldorf-Astoria drew over 300,000 spectators, and production commenced in Flint, Michigan on June 30, 1953.

The 1965 model year marked the third year of the second generation (C2) Corvette. The “shark gills” behind the front wheels were now fully functional, helping cool the engine. This year four-wheel disc brakes became standard equipment, which allowed for quick and reliable stopping power.

Offered here is a stunning 1965 Corvette, the fiberglass body is finished in Ermine white. The car is riding on knock-off wheels with white wall tires. The interior is finished in red with bucket seats, full instrumentation, AM radio and electric clock. The power plant is a 327-cid, 300-hp V-8 backed by a floor-shift automatic transmission. It is equipped with air-conditioning, power brakes and fully independent four-wheel suspension.

The Corvette is a different kind of car, a true sports car made in an America. Designed for spirited driving, while being able to handle the harshness of the road. Yet loaded with plush interior and modern comforts. This car will make a great addition to any classic car collection.
