Once in a whileand#44; a spectacular car lands in our showroom and everyone sits up and takes notice. This gorgeous 1965 Corvette carries its originaland#44; numbers matching L75 327/300 engineand#44; a 4-speedand#44; and an unusual 3.08 gearset out back. Fresh off a frame-up restorationand#44; this Ermine White roadster is the mid-year Corvette to own if you appreciate the virtues of a lightweight small-blocks handling. Corvette restorers know that getting a mid-year Corvette to look right is a balancing act. They have to be nice to compete at high levelsand#44; but they cant be too perfectand#44; so they are among the most challenging cars to restore properly. This one has super straight fiberglassand#44; great panel gapsand#44; and superb fit and finishand#44; but its more like its brand new rather than over-restored (you Corvette guys know exactly what Im talking about). The Ermine White is a pleasant change from all the Rally Red and Nassau Blue cars out thereand#44; timeless and elegant without being too flashy-it lets the incredible Sting Ray shape speak for itself. The chrome is excellentand#44; the badges are beautifully renderedand#44; and the quality of this car is tangible in every single component. The code 414 bright blue vinyl bucket seat interior is a wonderful contrast to the white bodyworkand#44; and presents in outstanding condition with restored components throughout. The softand#44; inviting seats have been fully restored using exact reproduction seat coversand#44; and the door panels have been finished to match. Correct carpets feature the proper texture and napand#44; while the dash pad hugs the dual cockpit dashboard more tightly than when new. The gauges have all been rebuiltand#44; and that is a correct N32 teakwood steering wheeland#44; another highly desirable option. There isand#44; of courseand#44; a 4-speed manual transmissionand#44; the right choice for your Corvette roadster if you love to driveand#44; and its housed in the original center consoleand#44; which was standard equipment. Overhead theres a fresh bright white convertible topand#44; complete with crystal clear rear windowand#44; and it fits beautifully. The originaland#44; numbers-matching L75 under the hood snarls through those side pipes like some kind of caged animal. With prodigious torqueand#44; its the ideal companion for cruisingand#44; with the ability to humble some pretty serious machinery in the stop light grand prix. Details under the hood include Chevy Orange paint on the engine itselfand#44; the original chrome ignition shield and air cleanerand#44; and correct blue stripe hoses and original style clamps throughout. Proper rams horn exhaust manifolds are in excellent conditionand#44; and dump into those fantastic-sounding side pipes for an aural experience youll never forget. Underneathand#44; its incredibly sanitaryand#44; and there are new calipers at all four cornersand#44; because 1965 was the first year for standard 4-wheel discs on the Corvette. Beautiful knock-off alloys wear correctly sized 215/75/15 whitewall radials for a correct look with a modern feel. Blue chip investments dont get much better than a matching-numbers mid-year Corvette roadster with side pipes. Call today! |
