Let’s take a look at this awesome 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe. Originally delivered to British Columbia, Canada, this beauty has quite a history. It earned an NCRS Top Flight award in 1995 and secured Bloomington Gold certification in 2020. Painted in striking Goldwood Yellow with comfy white leather seats, it’s powered by a strong 396ci L78 V8 engine paired with a Muncie four-speed manual transmission.
Now, this classic comes with some cool features. It’s got a PosiTraction differential for better grip, 15-inch cast aluminum wheels, four-wheel disc brakes for smooth stops, side-exit exhaust outlets for that classic roar, power windows for convenience, shiny chrome bumpers, and an AM/FM radio for entertainment. The current owner got their hands on it in 2023, and now you can find this C2 Corvette in Florida, complete with NCRS documentation, an MCACN award, owner’s manuals, and a clean Florida title.
Let’s talk about its exterior. The fiberglass body was originally Goldwood Yellow and got a fresh coat of paint under previous ownership. It’s got some cool details like the “power bulge” hood, flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, a side-exit exhaust system, and a retractable antenna. You can get a closer look at the paint and trim in the gallery.
Rolling on 15″ cast aluminum wheels with knock-off hubs and BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial narrow-whitewall tires, this C2 Corvette was the first to sport fully independent suspension, offering a smooth ride. It’s equipped with four-wheel disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Now, let’s step inside. The cabin boasts two cozy bucket seats covered in white leather, matched with color-coordinated door panels, and a black dashboard and center console. You’ll find a heater, a reverse-lockout shifter, an analog clock, power windows, and lap belts for safety.
The teak wood steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. Though the odometer shows 1,300 miles, the total mileage is unknown.
Under the hood, the 396ci L78 V8, with its single four-barrel carburetor, pumps out a factory-rated 425 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Take a look at the black-finished air cleaner lid and chrome ignition cover—they add a touch of style.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and a PosiTraction differential, ensuring a thrilling drive.
And if you’re curious about the trim tag, it tells us this is a 1965 Corvette coupe, body #3,107 built at the St. Louis assembly plant, with white and black leather upholstery, and Goldwood Yellow paint. Quite a gem, isn’t it?
