1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible L79 327/350 4-Speed

Nassau Blue over a Blue interior, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible stands at the intersection of performance, rarity, and thorough refurbishment. One of just 4,716 examples equipped with a coveted L79 327ci/350hp V8 for the model year, this C2 is further offered with both a soft top and removable body-color hardtop. An emphasis on authenticity runs more than skin deep, with details including original broach marks preserved by its numbers matching powertrain. This car’s engine was professionally rebuilt in late 2025, featuring all-new internal components, while the 4-speed manual transmission has been serviced with new bearings and seals. Power is delivered to the rear wheels by a fully overhauled 3.55:1 Positraction rear end.

Well-optioned for comfort, the Corvette was originally equipped with factory air conditioning now upgraded to a Vintage Air system. Power steering has been added for ease of use, along with GlobalCruise aftermarket cruise control. Sound-deadening materials have been installed throughout the cabin, and additional mechanical work includes new fuel and brake lines, refreshed suspension arms, and related components, ensuring performance on par with presentation. 

Repainted in 1980, this vehicle’s exterior shows some paint blemishes and imperfections. Service records from both current and previous ownership accompany the sale. This L79 Corvette Convertible offers a prime mid-run Roadster balancing originality, documented care, and tasteful upgrades—making it equally suited for touring or inclusion in a serious American collection.
