1965 | Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 327/375 Fuelie 4-Speed
Overview
Rally Red over Black vinyl upholstery, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 327/375 shows America’s sportscar at a collector-grade high point of optioning and equipment. L84 V8 motivation paired with final-year ‘Fuelie’ Rochester mechanical fuel injection and 4-speed manual shifting represent a world-class competition spec for its time. Restored to a high caliber with only 1,700 miles driven since, this show-ready C2 Coupe presents a rare opportunity for the serious Corvette enthusiast.
.
Inside, the two-passenger cabin adds an optional Teakwood steering wheel and Delco AM/FM radio alongside a dashboard clock and bucket seating. Below the center stack and gleaming gearshift, this car’s M-20 transmission routes power to the rear wheels. Four-wheel disc brakes sit behind knock-off cast aluminum wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Silvertown bias-ply tires framing side-mount exhaust to cap off a specification true to its appearance when new. An owner’s manual, car cover, and keys are included in the sale of this remarkable midcentury design icon.
.
While the Corvette gained available big block power in the same year, a sweet spot of performance and handling lent the 327ci ‘Fuelie’ light on its feet as a driver’s choice—competitive on more than just the drag strip. Stingray styling accented by hidden headlights and vertical fender vents made the car a sculptural, instantly recognizable aspiration. Correct through-and-through, this C2 presents an opportunity to acquire a timeless collection centerpiece.
