The year 1965 marked the third year of the second-generation Corvette, the Sting Ray. Hood styling was revised somewhat, roof vents disappeared from coupes, and the “shark gills” behind the front wheels became fully functional to aid engine cooling. Four-wheel disc brakes became standard, while the Rochester Ramjet “Fuelie” 327 V-8 made its final appearance, thanks to both cost and the mid-year appearance of the more powerful and less expensive 396-cubic inch “big block.”
The superlative 1965 Chevrolet Corvette fuel-injected coupe featured here is finished in highly desirable Nassau Blue over a Blue vinyl interior. This exquisite Corvette has been restored with no expense spared and was awarded the coveted Bloomington Gold certificate, and is now ready for its next caretaker. Upon purchasing this car, we had a former Bloomington Gold judge examine the car thoroughly; his conclusion was that it was the finest example he had seen in 20 years and went as far as saying that its most likely the finest one in existence. We are proud to offer this investment-grade fuel-injected Corvette for the most demanding collector investor or enthusiasts who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic motorcar.
