Completely number’s matching 327ci V8 300 horsepower engine, 4-speed transmission, and 3.36:1 Posi-traction rear axle ratio!

Awesome Corvette representing only 1,551 coupes with air conditioning from 1965!

The 1965 Corvette continued on the success of the mid-year String Ray with subtle changes. The hood vents were removed, and a trio of fender vents now effectively reduced engine heat, with the standard wheel covers redesigned to accommodate standard 4-wheel disc brakes that improved braking capability & lifespan. Also new for 1965 were integrated door panel armrests, better seats, and redesigned grill. It proved to be a successful year with Chevrolet selling 23,562 examples, of which only 8,186 would be coupes!

Offered here is an early May production 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe that has not left its former owners hands in the past 25 years! Finished in factory code correct GG- Glen Green over 430- Green Vinyl, this exceptional, and fully numbers matching, example is remarkably well equipped! Fitted with its original HJ-coded 327ci V8/300 horsepower engine, 4speed wide-ratio Muncie transmission, and AM-code 3.36:1 Posi-Traction rear axle ratio, it continues to retain its 100% factory installed drivetrain!

This special coupe was cosmetically restored by its former owner of 25 years to include new exterior paint, new front windshield and seal, and door weather stripping. It retains a remarkable no-hit body, all factory original drivetrain equipment, and only a few upgrades. These include recently replaced bolt-on aluminum 15” wheels with brand new BF Goodrich Silvertown gold stripe radial tires (original hubcaps included) and Custom Sound AM/FM/Cassette player in stock location. Since its arrival here at the Car Museum, we have fully serviced the engine fluids and replaced the ignition system to include the spark plugs, distributor cap/rotor/condenser, and plug wires. It continues to start and run with incredible ease! This example is recorded to be one of only 1,551 coupes ever built in 1965 with air conditioning! A rare chance for Corvette collectors worldwide!
