Default '65 Corvette Convertible, #s 365hp/4-sp, Mostly Orig Paint, Transistorized Ignition

Cool car with one of the best color combinations in '65. Just love those bright blue interiors....

Paint condition is not the greatest, but looks like it would be a very nice driver.

----This 65 is a gem! The one thing I should mention is that in 1965 both M20 and M21 transmissions were called M20's. The trans choice was made by the factory depending on the gear which in this case is a 4.11 so trans is, in reality, an M21. Love the patina and would do almost nothing but enjoy it and mess with small stuff a bit. The original leather seats are still totally useable as is and an enterprising guy might be able to clean and dye the carpets, but even that isn't a necessity. A couple of brothers from N.J. should campaign this Corvette in original classes.....Bill S

I drove a 65 365 Hp about 40 years ago and what a screamer it was. It was the closest thing to my 70 Lt-1 Convertable. Would rev and pull like a big block. I like this one a lot too.

Sharp! Curious that the odometer shows 45149 miles yet the service sticker on the door (appears to be a vintage Marathon Service station sticker) reads the same mileage. The date is tuff to read but IMO is either “5/3/06” or 5/3/66”. I don’t think this sticker would have been used in 2006.

Saw that too, maybe a disconnected speedometer?

Could be Tony, but seller states “ Odometer shows 45149 miles and could possibly be correct.”. Hmmmmm

My hometown, Springfield Illinois, which is just south of Bloomington.

I spent many years driving up to the Bloomington Corvette Coral in my various Corvettes back in the mid 70’s. Great time!

This ‘65 Corvette on auction is Really cool!

Love the factory paint, interior and engine bay.

The 365 mechanical lifter vettes are wicked.

I would lightly dye the carpet to blend better with the rest of the interior.

Possibly throw Goldline tires on it and enjoy as is.

Chris.

Not unusual for C2 odometers to quit working, while the speedo continues to work.
