Exclamation 65 Corvette BBC 4sp (perfect for a resto-mod)

Year: 1965
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Corvette
Price: $40000
Mileage: 10
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): IN
Color: Red
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive
LS Engine?: Car has LS engine

This car is a mild custom that started life with a 396, 4sp, Glenn Green exterior and standard black interior. It is now outfitted with an aftermarket Air conditioner, Electric fans, aluminum radiator, and a mild 454.

This car makes an excellent candidate for someone looking to do a resto-mod or a Grand Sport clone.




















This car is not perfect or the asking price would obviously be different. It has some wear and tear (to be expected with a car this age that's been used) but would make a great weekend cruiser for someone.

It may not be quite original, but it has a pretty neat stance to it and looks like it could make a great candidate for someone wanting a C2 they could finish into something more aggressive than the average C2. I personally like it as most C2's I see look too much like grandpa's old vette with a 327 and white wall tires.

Finish the side exhaust and what little items it may need and this could be a good buy for the right buyer. All the big stuff like drivetrain is already done. GLWS!

Thanks,

The exhaust will be finished soon. I will update once they are on.

It's not original, but it still turns more heads than stomachs.

This probably isn't for those looking for an NCRS car.

Forgot to mention, the motor is a fresh rebuild and a new clutch.

That was the look in the 70s. I had a 62 that had a similar look. It was a fun car, but there were those who would tear up over such things. I tried not to laugh while they were looking.........

It's certainly not for everybody, but it wouldn't take much to improve the looks.

A nice set of wheels and tires would go a long way to update the style and improve the performance.
