*1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible*The C2 Corvette was in production between 1963 and 1967 and is known to be one of the most beautiful sports cars to ever come out of General Motors.

The signature design feature of this generation Corvette is the exaggerated pontoon fenders, both front and rear. The soft convertible top sits beneath a hard tonneau cover behind the seats, easily securable and simple to operate. This example is fitted with Turbine-style multi-spoke wheels with 3-ear spinner knockoffs in the center which are wrapped in period correct thin-white-wall tires.The seats and door cards on this car are finished in black leather and benefit from a recent reconditioning. The C2 Corvette was one of the first cars to really emphasize the dual cockpit design with a hump in front of the driver containing the gauge pack, and a second hump in front of the passenger housing the glove box. Between the two sits an analogue clock and an upgraded head unit that retains the classic look, powering a pair of Focal speakers behind the seats. The steering wheel is a beautiful 3-spoke unit that is a combination of wood and polished metal, which has a truly classic appearance and feels great in the hands when you are on the road.Under the hood of this Corvette sits a 327ci V8 that produces 300 horsepower and is equipped with upgraded HEI ignition, topped by a chrome air cleaner. This 327 has recently been serviced by Park Place to the tune of new gaskets for the oil pain, timing cover and rear main seal, as well as new engine mounts and rear shocks. When under way, this engine spins a 4-speed manual transmission which has recently been rebuilt and sends power to the rear wheels. The 4 wheel disc brakes benefit from new calipers and pads so now it stops as good as it looks.The Second Generation Corvette is a car that has gained legendary status in the classic car world and is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful cars to ever come out of the American auto industry.
