Lot #1138 - This is a very original 1965 Corvette convertible in largely un-restored condition. 396/425hp engine with original 4 speed transmission. It has power windows and a telescoping teak steering wheel. It comes with both soft and hard tops. The original soft top shows its age, so a new, uninstalled, date coded soft top with seals comes with the car. All mechanicals have been inspected and are in perfect working condition. Engine and transmission were disassembled and reassembled to assure integrity. All brakes, bushings, and suspension parts have been inspected and repaired or replaced as necessary to have the car in perfect driving condition. All of the chrome is original so there are some minor imperfections that would be typical of a car this age. It appears that there may have been some paint touch up at some point, but the paint shows very well. Knock-off, aftermarket wheels. I have owned this car for 6 years. I have researched the history as far back as possible. In 1981 the car was placed in storage and not driven until I purchased it. I have driven less that 300 miles since then. This is a beautiful car in a rare color with unusual options. It shows extremely well.
