The Corvette C2 is gaining in popularity with leaps and bounds. A quite rightly so, the grandaddy of Muscle Cars has everything a classic car requires: beautiful lines, a powerful engine, an enormous reputation and forms part of the Vette dynasty. No wonder then the C2 is becoming more and more valued. Our convertible is also one that has lots of desirable attributes.
The Sting Ray you see here is simply gorgeous. This Convertible was ready to leave the factory on the 23rd November 1964 and handed over to its first owner in early 1965. He chose a very tasty finish to the car. The original delivery note shows the Corvette was delivered with a manual 4-speed, wooden steering wheel, Silver-Pearl paintwork, knock-off wheels, tinted glass, PB Am/FM radio and a 300 hp engine. The note also reveals a purchase price of $ 5,039.60. Although all of the above mentioned attributes are still present we have to disappoint you that we are sadly unable to offer you this for the same price as quoted.
This beautiful Silver Pearl Corvette is in brilliant shape, with the bodywork having been very finely spray painted, leaving the paintwork in perfect condition. The NCRS, the National Corvette Restorers Society, have underlined this with a Top Flight Award. The wide original wheels and side pipe make the car look even more muscular. And boy, does this car have some muscle! The 300 hp V8 packed under the bonnet is matching numbers and gives you goose bumps the moment you turn the ignition key. Close to your left ear the V8 thunders from the exhaust, awaiting its next sportive outing.
The manual gearbox adds extra inspiration to the drive. Once you are on your way, it becomes clear this is a top-class Corvette. The suspension is firm, the brakes work perfectly and the steering is tight. Not every Vette is as sure-footed in the bends, this one oozes trustworthiness. Hood down and away we go!
Whilst driving you can admire the lovely dashboard and great feel of that original wooden steering wheel. The larger and smaller meters in front of you impress with their dancing response to the throttle. They are clearly all in great working order and suit this mid-sixties sportscar down to the ground. The replaced upholstery is in “as good as new” condition. The seating is extremely comfortable and therefore this C2 is in everything quite the dream-mobile.
Over the years a number of things have fortunately been preserved. The original owner’s manual is present as is the 1965 Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan with signed off notes and Protect-O-Plate in the boot. The already mentioned delivery note is present as well as the radio manual and various NCRS documents. All in all A C2 Corvette you do not often come up against. The car’s condition, its finish, the extras and paperwork are all in excellent order.
