Equipment
327/365hp, 4-speed, spinner wheel covers, power antenna, factory radio, dash clock, teakwood steering wheel.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as 85,977 original miles. Good newer top. Decent older repaint with a long crack on the nose and several small chips and scratches throughout. Pitted, dull wheels and wheel covers. Decent chrome. Good interior with light discoloration on the seats and lightly worn switchgear. Significantly scratched window frames and rocker trim. Showing 85,977 miles and not exactly pampered, but good enough to keep enjoying and you wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in it. No represented history or documentation.
Market commentary
Sold at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach in 2012 for $41,800. Today, a really good '65 L76 Convertible can crack 100 grand and even driver quality examples can expect prices three-quarters of the way there, so this was a bargain that leaves the new owner with lots of money left to address this car's needs. There were a lot of very good mid-year Corvettes to choose from at Mohegan Sun, so this car with its obvious flaws and lack of documentation was easy to look at with a jaundiced eye and bid on conservatively. There were plenty of other choices, enough to wait for a good value, which this was.
