C1 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019

Default New to me 1965

76000 miles, equipped with 327/300, PS, PB, PW, 4 speed, telescopic column, convenience group and radio.
I bought this car through the forum classifieds. The seller gave me great, honest description of the car. Drives great, as I plan to use this as my winter driver Here in central Arizona.

Congrats! Very straight looking '65.

Having spent 20 years in Tucson, I know you can drive that car year around without the need for vintage air. You just need to get up VERY early.

Default Nice Looking Ride!

Congrats on the purchase of a sweet-looking C2! If I ever make it up to the Cottonwood area in my '66, I'll look you up. There's an annual Corvette show in Prescott every September, maybe I'll see you there.

Thanks for all of the compliments.

I am not new to C2s I had one (actually 4 of them continually from 1977-2007) and just decided I needed another one in my life.

No plans for Vintage Air. I live in a pretty mild climate in AZ. and really no need for it. I plan to drive my 57 topless during the spring, summer and fall and never put the top up and use this car during the winter.
