Equipment
327/375hp fuel injection, 4-speed, centerlock alloy wheels, Michelin Defender tires, hardtop, Positraction.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers. Small blister on the nose and a few light cracks around the headlight doors. Good older paint otherwise. Very good chrome. Clean underbody and lightly used, maintained engine bay. The rear window on the hardtop is a little cloudy. Mostly well kept original interior, but the leather is showing its age and there are a few popped seams on the driverÆs side. NCRS Top Flight in 1989. A desirably equipped and fully documented C2, mostly original other than a repaint.
Market commentary
The '65 Fuelie, which is the last year for fuel injection, is worth less than the equivalent big-block car even though it handles better and certainly isn't lacking for power. 1965 also introduced disc brakes, so these cars are decent value in the world of collectible C2 Corvettes. This was a high result, but the car deserved it given its level of preservation and desirable extra options like hardtop and leather seats.
