A Fully Restored Drop Dead Gorgeous Corvette Drop Top Roadster This is one of the nicest Corvette roadsters you'll find. This meticulously restored 1965 Corvette Stingray convertible C2 has undergone a complete nut and bolt restoration including a new black leather interior and full rebuild of its era correct 327 V8 motor. This convertible is in better condition now than when it first rolled out of the factory in 1965 and has a plethora of rare high end options, including N32 Teakwood Steering Wheel and F40 special front and rear Corvette suspension package. This Stingray has power brakes, power steering, correct redline tires and KMC cast aluminum Knock-Off wheels with clearly visible "Made in U.S.A." casting stamps. The Muncie 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and solidly. It is striking in its original Silver Pearl Metallic paint color. The body is laser straight with no chips, scratches or cracks. This Corvette's fit, finish and undercarriage is what separates it from the others. The leather interior is in terrific shape. The dash and door panels are perfect, carpeting is new and the gauges and accessories all work, right down to the clock. The car runs and drives incredibly strong with no concerns. Whether you want to show off at the local drive-in or just drive away for a weekend getaway, this show winner is a no worries, no disappointment car. I have owned this Barrett-Jackson quality Corvette for a little over five years, having purchased it just after its rotisserie restoration. Under my provenance the car has been fastidiously cared for, stored in a climate controlled environment, started regularly and cared for as one of the pride and joys of my collection. There were only 15,376 Corvettes created with this combination of options and it will only increase in value over time.

You can bid with confidence knowing that the car is indeed in the condition that I say it is. However, waiting in the wings gives someone else a chance to own the car of your dreams. My "buy it now" price is an incredible value and the ultimate owner of the vehicle won't get it for much less regardless of how the auction ends. So why chance it? If you want the car, buy it now. It's stunning to behold and one click away from being in your garage. I welcome your phone calls or emails and I will answer your questions candidly. I also not only welcome, but highly recommend that you personally inspect the vehicle. If you are not able to do so personally, I will make the vehicle available to the appraiser, mechanic or other professional of your choice. I will also gladly assist the buyer with cartage from a reliable enclosed classic car transporter. Andy 818-391-8527
