1965 Chevrolet Corvette--SOLD (Maine) - $0
For Sale or Trade
Matching numbers Corvette powered by a 327-300HP 4 speed, finished in the original Nassau Blue color with complimentary black vinyl interior and white soft top. This roadster underwent a complete body restoration in 2009. In 2011, the transmission was rebuilt by New England Transmission. The car sports BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires with Crager after-market sport chrome wheels (the car does come with stock white wall tires, wheels and the original stock hub caps). The car also comes with the original Carter carburetor AFB-300hp. The original optional hard top is also available. The dashboard, gauges, and center console are original, unrestored. The center console shows some paint loss as you would expect with age. The AM/FM radio works, but best reception when tuned to AM frequency. The chrome and trim are unrestored, original. There is no dents or damage, but there is some normal patina both front and rear, and the front bumper has some specks of chrome loss (see detailed photos). The professional respray is excellent overall, but there is a small paint blemish on the front hood edge.
