1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe. This Corvette is the perfect opportunity for someone looking to acquire a historic and icon mid-60's Corvette Coupe and have some fun tinkering with it. It is currently finished in non-original Code UU Rally Red, however, its original color is the rare Code XX Goldwood Yellow. The body is in good condition and would look excellent returned to its original color. The interior is correct Code 402 Black Leather. Under the hood is the numbers matching and optional L75 327ci V8 that made 300hp and 360lb.ft. of torque with a 10.5:1 compression ratio. It now sports a fuel injection system from a '63 Corvette so it is a numbers matching L75 327ci but with a non-original fuel injection system. It is matted to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual with a posi-traction rear end.
