Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette, a beautifully upgraded classic that blends unmistakable C2 styling with serious modern performance. Finished in a striking red and black exterior, this Corvette has the kind of presence that makes people stop and look twice. The aggressive stance is complemented by American Racing wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires, while the side-exit exhaust adds the perfect finishing touch to its bold roadster attitude.
Inside, the red leather seats, dash, and door panels create a vibrant and classic Corvette cockpit, balanced nicely by black carpeting. A billet and wood steering wheel adds a custom touch, while the working clock keeps a bit of vintage charm alive. For audio, this Corvette is equipped with a RetroSound radio paired with a Nertz subwoofer, giving the cabin an upgraded sound experience without taking away from the classic feel.
Under the hood, this Corvette is powered by a 6.2L LS3 V8 engine, which the owner claims produces 480 horsepower. Paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, this car delivers a driving experience that is engaging, responsive, and built for someone who enjoys being connected to the road. An aluminum radiator with an electric fan helps keep things cool, while the side-exit exhaust gives the LS3 the kind of sound a Corvette deserves. Power is sent to a PosiTrac rear end with 3.70:1 gears, giving this classic plenty of attitude when it is time to get moving.
This Corvette is also equipped with Wilwood brakes and drilled and slotted rotors, offering upgraded stopping power to match the performance under the hood. Power steering and power brakes help make the drive more manageable, while power windows add a welcome touch of convenience. Air conditioning helps keep the cabin comfortable, and the manual convertible top, along with the retractable hardtop, gives you the option to enjoy open-air cruising or a more enclosed classic Corvette experience.
The owner claims that he is the third owner of this Corvette, adding another interesting piece to the car's story. With its classic 1965 Corvette design, LS3 power, 5-speed manual transmission, upgraded braking system, custom interior touches, and strong visual presence, this Corvette is a standout example of how timeless styling and modern performance can come together in one exciting package.
