The second-generation Corvette, affectionately known as the "Sting Ray," burst onto the scene in 1963, a radical departure from its C1 predecessor. Penned by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, its iconic "split-window" design for the coupe (a one-year-only feature) and razor-sharp lines instantly cemented its place in automotive history. By 1965, the Sting Ray had matured, shedding the split window but gaining significant performance enhancements. This was the year disc brakes became standard at all four corners, a crucial upgrade for handling the ever-increasing power from Chevrolet's small-block V8s. The '65 model also introduced the legendary "big-block" 396ci engine option, though the robust 327ci remained a beloved choice, offering a perfect blend of power and everyday usability. The C2 generation, produced until 1967, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and driver-focused Corvettes ever built, a true American icon that blended European sports car sophistication with Detroit muscle. This stunning 1965 Chevrolet Corvette embodies the quintessential mid-year Sting Ray experience. Finished in the highly desirable Tuxedo Black over a matching black interior, its sinister aesthetic is perfectly complemented by the aggressive, factory-style side pipe exhaust, announcing its presence with an unmistakable rumble. Under the hood lies the heart of this machine: its numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V8 engine, paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, providing an engaging and authentic driving experience that connects the driver directly to the road. Showing 0 miles since its restoration, this is a pristine example of a beloved classic. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a true collector-grade C2 Corvette, ready to be driven and admired.
