1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Additional Info:
Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous 1965 Corvette Stingray that was fully restored from the ground up before being offered for sale. You can see in every detail that the builder spared no expense making this dream machine come to life. The restoration started with a nice example of a 1965 Corvette that was completely disassembled down to a naked frame. The most accurate way to describe its current condition is essentially brand new from the bumper to bumper, there isn’t a single piece of this car that wasn’t gone through and either replaced with a new part or rebuilt with new components. When you open the book that comes with this car the first page is a receipt for $80,000 worth of work, $50,000 in parts + 350 hours of labor. The original engine was replaced with a built 496 stroker long block from BluePrint Engines that Dyno’s over 600HP at the wheels. The suspension was converted to a coilover setup that completely changes the old handling characteristics of the car. The engine, transmission, suspension, cooling system, interior, A/C system, gauges, stereo, are all new. The body was repainted in its original black and is absolutely beautiful. Some of the fiberglass body panels were repainted as many as five times before meeting the builders very high expectations. The finished product takes the looks from one of the most beautiful Corvettes ever made and combines them with all the latest technology to create an extremely desirable and unique vehicle. This was a labor of love for the builder, the money invested getting the car to this level exceeds the asking price and represents an excellent value to someone considering building one of their own.
