Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette, a beautifully upgraded classic that blends unmistakable C2 styling with modern performance.
Finished in a striking red and black exterior, this Corvette has a commanding presence that draws attention. The aggressive stance is complemented by American Racing wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires, and the side-exit exhaust adds a bold touch to its roadster attitude.
Inside, the red leather seats, dash, and door panels create a vibrant and classic Corvette cockpit, balanced by black carpeting. A billet and wood steering wheel adds a custom touch, while the working clock maintains vintage charm. The car is equipped with a RetroSound radio paired with a Nertz subwoofer, providing an upgraded sound experience that preserves the classic feel.
Under the hood, this Corvette features a 6.2L LS3 V8 engine, claimed to produce 480 horsepower. It is paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and responsive driving experience. An aluminum radiator with an electric fan helps keep the engine cool, and the side-exit exhaust delivers the iconic Corvette sound. Power is sent to a PosiTrac rear end with 3.70:1 gears, giving the car plenty of attitude when accelerating.
The vehicle is equipped with Wilwood brakes and drilled and slotted rotors for upgraded stopping power. Power steering and power brakes enhance drivability, while power windows add convenience. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, and the manual convertible top along with the retractable hardtop allows for open-air cruising or a more enclosed experience.
The owner claims to be the third owner of this Corvette, adding to its unique story. With its classic 1965 design, LS3 power, 5-speed manual transmission, upgraded braking system, custom interior touches, and striking visual presence, this Corvette exemplifies how timeless styling can be combined with modern performance.
