1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Tuxedo Black Roadster 327 V8 4 Speed Manual

Description

Investment Grade Corvette Sting Ray Roadster 327/365 HP L76 V8 4 Speed PS Discs /// Originally purchased as a small block curve carver, evidenced by its original L76 327 and Muncie 4-speed transmission, this refreshing Vette features rare Tuxedo Black over Silver aesthetics that are both attractive and unique. And if you're in the market for a cool rendition of a top-notch example of America's favorite sports car, it could be the literal interpretation of your next classic! Recently restored... to assembly line specs, this sinister C2 presents a stunning color combination that, thanks to a late NASCAR super star, enjoys a natural association with both Chevrolet and success. Tilt the car's hood and you'll find an original L76 V8 that hangs a familiar 3782870 casting number behind a matching partial VIN and correct "HH" suffix stamp. One of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8s of its day, this impressive small block utilizes a forged crank, forged rods, forged pistons, a hot cam and solid lifters to turn stout 11.0 to 1 compression into a solid 365 horsepower. Behind that mill, a VIN-stamped Muncie hangs a correct 3851325 casting number over a Muncie (P) assembled on April (04) 5th (05) build stamp. At the ends of the car, a fully sorted double A-arm front and independent rear suspension is completely detailed down to its fresh shocks, correct springs and optional power steering. At the corners of that suspension, power disc brakes mix good handling characteristics with quick and solid stops. And at the edges of those brakes, torque flows to the pavement through clean 'knock-off' wheels, which spin 205/75R15 Uniroyal Tiger Paw whitewalls. With its spirited 327, tough 4-speed and excellent restoration, this Sting Ray is a valuable car that you can drive and enjoy just as Duntov intended! Sound like a good way to spend your Saturdays?
