1965 Chevrolet Corvette

Up for sale is a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette "Coupe" Project

Please note* : THIS IS NOT FOR THE PURIST AS THIS ORIGINALLY WAS A CONVERTIBLE THAT WAS CONVERTED INTO A COUPE BACK IN THE 80's. I pulled it out of a garage where it was sitting for 30+ years with the hopes of slowly getting it back on the road and modernizing it as a restomod. Previous owner began piecing it into a 1964 coupe as you can see

Clean title in hand and reads as a 1965 Corvette 2 DR  with the original matching vin.  The original title read Convertible and I had it corrected in NJ as if put on the road, it could be confusing for law enforcement to see a coupe and registration states Convertible.

1965 Chevrolet Corvette "Coupe"

4 speed Manual Trans

Early 70's Chevy 350 with what I'm told a mild cam and minor work done to it

New Front disc brake setup from Autoplicity

New Master/booster along with distribution block  and front lines.

New Brake hoses

New Front Shocks

New Front Springs

New Headlights

New Headlight motor Limit Switch

New Rear brake drum hardware

New Rear brake wheel cylinders

New Fuel Tank

New Fuel Sending Unit

New Edelbrock 600cfm Carburetor

New GM HEI Distributor with plugs and wires

New Heater Core

New Tires all around

All guages work except for Tach as the HEI is a electronic output and Stock C2 gauge is mechanical.

Original radio was sent out to get rebuilt with bluetooth addon ( $600 cost)

I outfitted the entire interior with sound deadening material.

Car comes with all the interior trim in great shape, door panels, door hardware ( crank and etc) and cover panels

Car comes with a bunch of exterior emblems that are original ( as you can see in the pictures)

Car currently runs and drives but, will need an alignment and minor adjustments to be road worthy. I would consider a parking lot driver although I have been putting about 3-6 miles daily on it and have not issues mechanically.

This would be a GREAT restomod start as it's not an original coupe meaning your not paying the coupe price tag initially.

PROS : FRAME IS SOLID and body panels line up great as you can see in the pictures. Car runs and drives and can be driven as restored right now. Mechanically everything looks great and all the interior pieces are there to put it together. Clean title in hand and is also corrected to read as a coupe so there are no issues for title transfer in other states. Car shifts into all the gear perfectly and exhaust sounds great. All windows work as should.

CONS : As you can see in the pictures, Paint/Body needs to be attention. There is a lot of orange peel in the clear coat and I began color sanding it but, do not have time to complete. The car can be color sanded to a very clean shine but, it will take time and effort. Front end alignment is needed as car drives great but, sways slightly. Rear end needs alignment as it sits slightly toe in.

Please note that this car is not for the purist but, is a great solid start for someone looking for a c2 coupe without spending 60K+. Could be a great start to a LS swap or efi setup.

Please be aware that low ballers will be ignored and have funds available if placing an offer. Not looking for any trades currently as I have too many projects and not enough time.

Any questions, please reach out. Thank you !
