Default 1965 Coupe L78


Chapter Top Flight first time judged. Even with a full deduct for paint to good.







Authenticated (Steve LuVisi) numbers matching L78. Nassau blue with blue interior. Factory : side exhaust, KH wheels (including spare), power brakes, tinted glass and windshield, power windows, positract, teak wheel with tele, am/fm w power antenna, comfort convenience package. Paint and brightwork are show quality, interior is excellent. I am by no means an expert but it appears that all of the glass is original and in perfect condition. Underside is original and rust free.. Clock doesn't work but I am having that repaired. Everything else operates perfectly. I am happy to take any photos requested. I am not in any hurry to sell and welcome your thorough inspection.. It has not been judged yet but I am taking it to Glendale for judging in April. $98,000.

Default 65 coupe

One of only 2177 BB's made in 1965 and to have all 5 KH knock offs makes this one very special. Love it.

Did Steve due the restoration? He has done nice work over the years on many C1 and C2 Corvettes. He did the driveline on my 67 silver black 427/390 Powergide with air conditioning, PS,PB, Speedminder, AM, FM, K-19 Smog, and 3.55 diff, vinyl hard top convertible back in 1992. Long time ago, but he has been fixing Chevrolet's for many, many years. Tell him I said ''Hi, and stay well''

He does incredible work. I have had pretty strong interest and have suggested that buyers have him do the inspection since he knows the car so well. Thanks Jim

Never noticed that. Have the original seat covers and they are vinyl. Just had them recovered with Al Koch covers.

Obviously this is a recreation, but represents how the car came equipped.
I just googled window sticker and went from there.
