This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette coupe was purchased by the seller in 2024, and subsequent work involved repainting the body in metallic blue as well as re-trimming the interior with black leather on the bucket seats. Power is provided by a replacement 396ci V8 that is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and a Mallory distributor, and the seller notes the four-speed manual transmission was rebuilt and is linked to a limited-slip differential. Inside, the bucket seats are accompanied by a tilt steering wheel, an AM/FM radio, a rear-mounted speaker box, power windows, and retractable lap belts. Additional equipment includes a dual exhaust system, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and 15″ Rally wheels. This C2 Corvette coupe is now offered with a California title in the seller’s name.

The fiberglass body was originally finished in Nassau Blue and was repainted, color sanded, and buffed and polished under current ownership, according to the seller. Details include flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, and exhaust tips exiting through the rear valance.

The 15″ Rally wheels are wrapped in 205/75 Hankook Kinergy ST tires. The C2 Corvette was built with fully independent suspension, and this example is equipped with power steering. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs that were overhauled under current ownership, according to the seller.

The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in black leather as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include an analog clock, an AM/FM radio, an aftermarket rear speaker assembly, power windows, and retractable lap belts.

The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilting column and frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 40k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership.

The replacement 396ci V8 features an aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and a Mallory Unilite distributor.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt and installed with a replacement clutch in 2026, according to the seller, who notes the car has a Positraction differential. The dual exhaust system exits through the rear valance.
