All I have is the 1/8th scale Monogram '65...

Thanks for your replies!
I forgot to mention that I need a convertible and a stock version. I did the research on ebay too but I couldn't find one fitting to my expectations.

Is that pic after the flood?

Yeah, 43 years can do many things to cardboard...

The closest thing you are going to find would probably be an AMT kit... I believe they are the only company that ever made a '65/'66 roadster kit...

Correct, during the 60's, AMT did annual issues of both the Corvette coupe and convertible, in 1/25th scale. Each year, the molds were updated to reflect the new model year's changes (wheel covers, side louvers, etc) and changes were made to the optional custom and race parts included in the kits. AMT re-released the 67 coupe kit numerous times, and later retooled it to release as both a 63 coupe and convertible. In my opinion, the 64 issue of the AMT kit was the best of their 63-67's. Included in the 64 kit was a very nice dual axle car trailer, and numerous period racing parts.

On of the first kits offered by MPC when they started in the mid 60's, was a 65 Corvette, but it was a coupe and they never offered it as a convertible. The 65 MPC kit was pretty neat, and included a number of drag racing parts, including an open drag chute. The MPC 65 was eventually retooled as a 67.

In the mid 80's, Revell (US) released a 1/25th scale version of the 65 coupe driven by Nick Mancuso in the 80's NBC TV show, Stingray. This kit was later reissued by Monogram as their "65 Vette Street Machine". Like the MPC kit, these kits were never issued as convertibles.

In the 60's, AMT also made pre-assembled promo models for Chevrolet dealers. In 65, they made the coupe in blue, but not the convertible. The 65 convertible promo was only made in red, black and silver. Promos turn up for sale from time to time, but expect to spent $400-$500 for an original promo model.

The original AMT 65 convertible kits can sometimes be found on eBay for sale, and even on the Corvette Forum. Here is a link to a partially assembled AMT 65 convertible kit, that was offered for sale here about 4 years ago.
