The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2, burst onto the scene in 1963 with its revolutionary Sting Ray design, a radical departure from its predecessor. Penned by Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda, and Peter Brock, the C2's aerodynamic lines, hidden headlamps, and iconic split rear window (for 1963 only) immediately cemented its place in automotive history. By 1965, the Corvette had evolved, shedding the split window but gaining disc brakes as standard, a critical performance upgrade. It was also the year the legendary Big-Block 396 made its debut, though the small-block 327 remained a potent and popular choice, especially in its high-revving, high-horsepower configurations. This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, finished in its code-correct Silver Pearl with a black interior, embodies the quintessential mid-year Corvette experience. Under the hood lies a 327 cubic inch V8, a 365-horsepower "NOM" (Not Original Motor) counter replacement, paired with its numbers-matching 4-speed manual transmission and original 3.08:1 rear differential. Showing 52,000 miles, this example benefits from an older frame-off restoration, presenting with a very nice paint finish, solid body, and a well-maintained undercarriage. Desirable factory options include a Teakwood steering wheel, AM/FM radio, and tinted glass, further enhancing its appeal. Purchased from its original owner, this Corvette even comes with its original 1965 Illinois license plate, a testament to its provenance. Ready to be enjoyed, this stunning C2 Corvette offers a direct connection to a golden era of American performance.
