Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Convertible, an exceptionally well-preserved and highly desirable example of the second-generation Corvette. Showing approximately 46,555 miles, this car is verified numbers matching and represents the purity of mid-1960s American sports car engineering. Finished in Tuxedo Black over a black leather interior with a contrasting white convertible soft top, this Corvette embodies timeless styling and authentic performance, remaining true to its original character.

Overview

Power is provided by the original 327ci small-block V8 engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering an engaging and period-correct driving experience that captures the essence of mid-1960s American performance. Known for its smooth power delivery and eager revving nature, the 327 V8 offers a balanced combination of reliability and spirited driving dynamics. This Corvette retains its factory rear-wheel-drive configuration and is equipped with an independent rear suspension, a hallmark feature of the C2 generation that significantly improved handling and ride quality over its predecessors.

Further enhancing the driving experience are factory four-wheel disc brakes, providing strong and consistent stopping power. The mechanical setup reflects a thoughtful blend of performance and usability, making the car equally enjoyable on spirited drives or relaxed cruising. The verified numbers matching status adds an additional layer of collectibility, ensuring that the engine and drivetrain remain true to the car’s original factory specifications.

Inside, the cabin is finished in black leather and features bucket seats, a teakwood steering wheel, and a black-faced analog gauge cluster that maintains the car’s vintage appeal. Manual crank windows and mirrors preserve its original simplicity, while the factory Chevrolet radio adds to the authenticity of the interior. The overall presentation reflects a well-maintained example that stays true to its heritage, offering a driving environment that is both nostalgic and refined.

The exterior is finished in striking Tuxedo Black paint complemented by a white convertible soft top, retaining the factory color combination. Iconic styling elements include pop-up headlights, a 427-style big-block hood, vertical fender louvers, and side-mounted exhaust pipes that emphasize its performance-oriented design. The car rides on 15-inch wheels, completing the period-correct look while maintaining its unmistakable Corvette presence.

With verified numbers matching status, desirable color combination, and a well-preserved configuration, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette stands as a compelling opportunity to own a true American classic that captures the spirit of its era.
