Finished in Tuxedo Black over a black vinyl interior, this striking 1965 Chevrolet Corvette represents the unmistakable style and performance. According to its NCRS (National Corvette Restorers Society) shipping data, this Corvette was produced on June 3, 1965, and delivered new to O’Reilly Motor Company in Tucson, Arizona.
This Corvette has recently undergone a comprehensive frame-on restoration completed in 2026, during which the chassis and mechanical systems were carefully restored to provide excellent reliability and driving performance. The restoration included a completely refinished underbody and chassis, presenting a clean, highly detailed underside that reflects the care taken throughout the project
Power comes from a Chevrolet Performance ZZ4 crate engine, a proven small-block upgrade known for its strong performance and dependable operation rated at over 355 Horsepower. The engine is topped with an aluminum intake manifold and a Demon carburetor, while visual appeal in the engine bay is enhanced by a chrome air cleaner and chrome Chevrolet valve covers. The car is also equipped with power steering, improving drivability and making the Corvette easier to enjoy both around town and on longer drives.
The drivetrain is paired with a freshly rebuilt Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission, delivering the engaging driving experience. Performance sound and character come courtesy of Hedman Headers, which feed into an exhaust system connected to factory-style sidepipes, producing the unmistakable Corvette side-exit rumble.
During the restoration, the Corvette received new suspension and steering components, ensuring confident road manners and improved handling. It rides on Rocket Racing polished aluminum wheels fitted with red-stripe radial tires and knockoff-style center caps, a tasteful combination that blends classic Corvette aesthetics with a slightly modernized performance look.
Inside, the black vinyl interior maintains the purposeful driver-focused environment Corvette is known for, while entertainment comes from an AM/FM radio adding a period-correct touch with additional usability.
With its documented NCRS production history, fresh mechanical restoration, modern ZZ4 performance, and aggressive side pipe-equipped stance, this 1965 Corvette offers a compelling blend of classic mid-year styling, enhanced drivability, and unmistakable American V8 performance—ready to be enjoyed on the open road or proudly displayed among other iconic sports cars.
