1965 Roadster
Well, I finally did it ... found my dream car and bought it !
This is my first Vette and I know the learning curve is steep, but you gotta start somewhere.
1965 "Sting Ray" Roadster
Goldwood Yellow exterior with a very straight body and in very original condition, the original chrome bumpers are also in good condition, not showing any rust or dings, as are the original chrome exterior door handles. The taillights show normal cracking from age and the wheels wear a set of original hubcaps in fair condition.
Black interior, Black convertible top and the interior is just as original as the outside, with original seat covers, door panels, carpet, gauges, seatbelts, center console, and steering wheel.
Has a 240hp 350ci GM crate engine (I have the original numbers matching 300hp 327ci engine), number matching 4 speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter. The engine compartment has been extensively detailed, and features an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake and a Weber carburetor delivers the fuel.
Factory features also include 4-wheel disc brakes, power steering and power antenna. The frame is solid, and has been nicely detailed.

Welcome Aboard! 
I have a soft spot for '65 Roadsters. My brother (Chief Bob on the forum) owned one in '65 and I was lucky that he was extremely generous since he allowed his kid brother (me) drive it extensively (Thanks Bob). I loved that car and have a lot of great memories. Enjoy yours!
