For 1965, Chevrolet made small changes to the Corvette in order to provide a cleaner, more aggressive looking sports car. The car's hood was smoothed out, losing the scoops of the previous model-year and the front fenders received functional vertical exhaust vents. The interior saw minor updates to the dash and seating. Chevrolet introduced 4-wheel disc brakes and offered more engine options in '65 than previously available with the Corvette.
This '65 Vette is one of only 2,157 produced with the L78 396ci/425hp V8. Of that number produced, only 759 were produced with side-exhaust. This '65, presented in Rally Red, with corresponding red interior, is an outstanding example of a rare build. All around the exterior of the car, the gleaming paint and chrome is set off by its newly replaced white vinyl top. Under the hood, the matching-numbers 396ci/425hp V8 is tied to its original M21 4-speed transmission. With a 4.11 positraction rear, this Corvette is a an absolute rocket and is ready to ride.
