1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

For consignment, a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 84 miles, but the true mileage is unknown. This one features a crate 350ci V8 and some suspension and other component upgrades making it a looker, and a booker! Despite the upgrades, this car retains its numbers matching Muncie M20 transmission.

Exterior
Striking in its appearance, it's clear this one veers from factory stock most apparently by the Foose wheels on board, wild and unique with 18-inch up front and 19-inch for rears, here wrapped in low profile, staggered tires with an early 2022 date code. The black stinger stripe on the hood provides contrast to the two stage Charcoal Gray Metallic paint which is a great color to highlight the coke bottle curves and sweeping lines of the C2. Triple gills on the fender are accentuated by shiny side pipes and flow through vents on the B-pillar add even more raciness. The boat tail rear is not only a work of art, but has been the subject of photographic art for decades and still astounds. There's a lot to love here including an exterior we could not find fault with as no imperfections were found. 

Interior
Basic black door panels are clean and efficient accented with shiny trim framing, both in very nice condition and opening up the cabin where we find updated black leather bucket seats with ample side bolstering and tuck and roll inserts. The steering wheel is also an upgrade from original and leads to the stock shaped instrument cluster now housing modern gauges with digital readouts augmenting the dials on a perfect textured plastic faceplate. A smooth black center stack holds the clock, functional knobs, and a vertical AM/FM radio. Vintage Air is onboard with vents distributed though the cabin, and a chrome knobbed shifter is perched in the clean console, all over black loop carpet that covers the footwells and rear cargo area nicely, and it's there where we find some extra speakers. Finally, the black grain vinyl headliner is spotless. 

Drivetrain
Also spotless is the impressive engine bay where we find a crate 350ci V8 with a Holley Street Avenger 4-barrel carburetor, a Be Cool radiator, and polished headers. The satin black bay is accented by the red MSD coil and wires and overall, is show ready. Behind it, the numbers matching Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission which gleefully sends power to the rear axle with 3.36 gears and Positraction.  

Undercarriage
Like many restomods, the underside of this one is also clean and show worthy. The polished exhaust runs from the headers to the side pipes and clean metals underneath are matched by the paint matched cross members. RideTech suspension includes coil springs on the independent front and rear and Wilwood supplies the disc brakes at all four wheels. No rust, no fluids, and every nut and bolt are clean on this fresh looking underside.

Drive-Ability
The bigger seats and smaller steering wheel of this restomod make it that much better than stock, and the sound of the 350 roaring to life is not too shabby either. We shift the Muncie into first and roll this resto onto the test loop where it exhibits great power underfoot, smooth tracking, and great handling. It's clean and well sorted and not surprisingly, all functional items in and around the car operate as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Easily one of the hottest genres in the market, Classic Auto Mall is thrilled to represent this '65 restomod. You don't have to roll the dice at an auction, you can see this one up close, and if rock solid serious and ready to make an offer, take it for test drive in our massive lot and confirm what we've said here, this is one fantastic, collector grade restomodded '65!
