1965 Corvette Stingray Coupe. Excellent condition, new crate motor and Tremec 5 speed.
Nassau Blue with White Leather Interior, (as per the trim tag) One of 8,186 coupes built in 1965.
Power steering, power brakes, rare power windows, power antenna car.
The car had a full professional restoration and new paint in 2014. I purchased the car out of Ontario, Canada 3 years ago. The dash is like new, the interior show-worthy, and the paint is an exceptional 9/10. Since the paint was still exceptional, I’ve only had the mechanical side addressed. All new parts, crate motor and work have been done the past 2 years by professional builders.

It’s ‘tight’ and drives excellent. A great cruiser, that also, and rips when you want it to. Cruising in 5th gear I’ve achieved 22 MPG. It’s timeless classic design always turns heads and gets waves, whether at the gas pumps or cruising to a show. One of the more admired and coveted classic cars that’s a collector’s dream.
