1965 Chevrolet Corvette Additional Info:

YOU ARE BUYING A 1965 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY COUPE. THIS IS A FRESH ON FRAME RESTORATION THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER THE PAST 2-3 YEARS. IT IS 99% COMPLETE. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. SEE BELOW DESCRIPTION FOR DETAILS.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BY MY FATHER IN THE EARY 80'S AND WAS PARKED IN OUR WAREHOUSE FROM THEN UNTIL 3 YEARS AGO. WHEN HE PURCHASED THE CAR IT WAS A PREVIOUS STOLEN RECOVERY WHICH IS WHY IT HAS THE "ASSIGNED VIN" TAG AS PICTURED ABOVE. THAT WAS ASSIGNED IN THE 80'S, NOT RECENTLY. ALSO, WHEN HE PURCHASED THE CAR IT WAS WHITE WITH BACK INTERIOR. HOWEVER, THE COWL TAG SHOWS IT WAS ORIGINALLY A RED ON RED CAR, SO THAT IS WHAT WE PUT IT BACK TO. ALSO, THE CAR APPEARS TO HAVE AN ENGINE FROM A CHEVY NOVA WHEN YOU LOOKUP THE CASTING NUMBERS. THE CAR HAS ALL NEW PAINT, EMBLEMS, TRIM AND BUMPERS.

THE INTERIOR IS ALSO ALL NEW. NEW UPHOLSTERY, NEW HEADLINER, NEW CARPET, NEW DOOR PANELS AND NEW TRIM.

CAR ALSO HAS BRAND NEW REDLINE TIRES PURCHASED FROM COKER TIRE AND NEW REPRODUCTION WHEEL COVERS.

THE CAR HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES THAT WERE NOT DEALT WITH BECAUSE WE NEED TO SELL THIS CAR BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE A CONVERTIBLE THAT WE ARE GOING TO RESTORE INSTEAD:

NO GAS PEDAL (FORGOT TO ORDER ONE)

ENGINE NEEDS SOME WORK, IT RUNS AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO BELOW, BUT IT DOESN'T RUN GREAT AS IT WAS SITTING FOR ALL THOSE YEARS. HAS NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES BUT NEEDS MORE DONE, NOT SURE WHAT IS REQUIRED AS WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR RESOURCES TO MESS WITH IT ANYMORE.

THE RADIO AND HEATER DOES NOT WORK AS WELL AS SOME OF THE GAUGES, PROBABLY NEEDS SOME FRESH WIRING WHICH SHOULD BE A SOMEWHAT EASY FIX.

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK AS THE ACTUATORS ARE ON BACK ORDER.

THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS ARE MISSING SOME OF THE CLIPS THAT HOLD ON THE TRIM WHICH IS WHY YOU SEE SOME OF THE TRIM OFF IN THE PHOTOS.

ANY QUESTIONS, CALL BRENDA AT (909) 841-0290.

BELOW IS A VIDEO SHOWING THE CAR DOES RUN, BUT AGAIN DOES NOT RUN GREAT.
