For myself (and I know many others) this is the Holy Grail of Corvettes! Definitely my "hopefully someday" machine. Congratulations!

Couple of pics for some reason the site won't load an MP4 file?


Jim, thanks for the shout out for CVS. I enjoyed working with you and I am glad you found your car. There are a lot of midyear big block cars out there with restamped motors and bogus paperwork, which makes your 65 396 car even more special!

Congrats on your purchase! I just love Glen Green. It is so nice to see a 65 without knock offs and side pipes

Wow, that’s a beautiful 65! I’m curious as to the rear end ratio? Seems that a bunch of those 65 L78s came equipped with 4.56 gears.
