VetteRed1965

We purchased her 9 years ago with 22,400 miles on the odometer, she rolled off the assembly line at the St. Louis GM plant in March 1965; one of 15,376 convertibles sold that year. She is bright and shiny with her stock rally red exterior, knock off wheels, white leather interior, 327 CID / 350 HP motor (3,800 miles since rebuild) and 4-speed manual transmission with a new clutch. Factory side pipes, knock off wheels. New front end bushings and rear leaf spring. She lived most of her life in Utah, The second owner was a disc jockey. Her third owner a dentist, the four owner continued to maintain her for the next three years and then, because the lady of the house wanted the garage space for her car, I bought her 9 years ago. The car is a second generation (C2) “mid-year” corvette; these were made between 1963 and 1967, only. The “mid-year” Stingray body style is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful of all seven generations of Corvettes.
I have carefully taken care of her for the past 9 years. She has been continuously garaged and driven about 1,500 miles each year. She now shows 32,700 miles. The late January engine has been rebuilt and the transmission serviced, clutch replacement, rebuilt a arm front suspension, restored instrument cluster, and a white convertible top. Our beautiful “driver” has been stored in our garage. She will give many years of excitement. $46,000 obo Call with questions 404-312-7189

Do you know if the valve covers are original to the car?
Thanks,

With a casting flaw,I would say that's a no on being original?

This is a 365hp corvette January 1965 block that is date correct for the car, It is built with hydraulic lifters to 380hp.The camel hump heads have been lightly ported to clean up the internal air flow then polished for better performance.Built three years ago.

The Roadster came with an LT-1 1970 motor with LT-1 valve covers on it.

I wanted the block to be date correct, in four years of effort, I found this January 1965 Vette block.
The valve covers are for a 1966 or 67 car. I'm not going for a Top flight or judging, I just want my motor date numbers to be correct. Have $54,000 in it and hope to get close to the money put into.

Its time for a new care taker and for me to move onto my next project.I would entertain $46.000,obo



Please give me a call with any questions. 404-312-7189 Thanks,Mark
