Called buyer this afternoon and returned my call few hours later, he also works at same company in outside sales and is new and don't know much about him and he has viewed the corvette, twice and was happy, surprised that I accepted $65,000 offer
He said he was going to bank tomorrow, so we shall see how this emotional saga unfolds

Looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow. Be cautious with the payment method though, as others have said.

The guy said that; "He has to go to the bank tomorrow." Sounds like he doesn't have in place - how he's going to pay for it, now that his offer was accepted. 
Love to see the look on his face when he finds out what that car's used price should be.
OP - should have asked for a deposit.

Wondering what happened...
Maybe he just loves the Shark Gray? Or, is your state one that doesn't have a use tax like we have here in California? (aka a tax on a transaction between private individuals, aka theft... sorry, that's for another forum!) So maybe buying a nice used Vette appeals to him if he doesn't have to pay sales tax?

I can't believe with all the resources out there, that someone could offer $15000+ more for your car than what it is worth! If he is going for a loan at the bank he might get educated real quick!

I agree, what's not to like about Shark Gray? If it hadn't been discontinued, it would have been the color I bought. I'm totally happy with Watkins Glen Gray, but I also love Shark Gray. I guess I'm just a shades of gray kind of guy...

I don't think you're missing much. The only possible reason, financially, that I can think of is what I speculated about earlier regarding sales tax. For example, here in the Peoples' Republik, sales tax on a new Vette in that price range is going to be upwards of $7K (same for a used one in that price range, btw) but in other states, they may not have a tax on a private party sale. All speculation on my part.
