Restored 1965 Corvette with factory 327/375hp V8 engine with a 4-speed manual transmission, F40 heavy-duty suspension, 3.70 posi-traction. Teak wood steering wheel, AM/FM radio with power antenna. Finished in black with a silver interior, it also has original GM Kelsey knock-off wheels with reproduction gold line tires. A stunning 1965 Corvette; only 771 were built and just 326 had the F40 suspension.

Absent original factory paperwork, this vehicle leans on a few facts: the original engine and VIN plate (VIN plated doesn’t decode the engine) can and do confirm this car's original configuration and, in addition, the Nolan Adams Tech Guide,Vol. 2, published in 1988, references this car by VIN on page 273 as one of the four known J61 drum-brake fuel-injection cars, and on page 312 as one of the known fuel-injection cars. Immaculate body-off restoration completed in 2011. Non-GM issued Trim Tag. Factory-spec motor rebuild and dyno; dyno sheet included. Fuel-injection unit was thoroughly inspected and serviced. Complete chassis service documented.

New exhaust system, all-new chrome polished to show-quality and new convertible top. Photo documentation of restoration included. NCRS Shipping Data Report, production date January 28, 1965, sold new at Simmons Chevrolet in Richlands, VA, zone 40, dealer 367.
