The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. Penned by Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda, and Peter Brock, its iconic split-window coupe and sleek roadster designs were an instant classic, blending European sophistication with American muscle. The C2 brought independent rear suspension to the Corvette for the first time, significantly improving handling and ride quality, solidifying its reputation as a true sports car. By 1965, the Sting Ray was in its third year of production, offering a refined package of performance and style, just two years before the introduction of the legendary big-block engines. This 1965 Corvette Roadster presents as a compelling driver, finished in a crisp white exterior complemented by a black convertible top and a vibrant red interior. While the original 327 cubic inch V8 would have made 250 or 300 horsepower, this example has been updated with a period-correct 1967 327ci V8, rated at 275 horsepower, paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end for an engaging driving experience. Showing 56,985 miles on the odometer, this Sting Ray retains its classic AM radio and is described as a quality driver with a nice cosmetic body, interior, and undercarriage. This C2 Roadster offers a fantastic opportunity to own a quintessential piece of American automotive history, ready to be enjoyed on the open road.
