I am selling this car for a friend and I have received approval from the Moderators. I will be responsible for the sale from start to finish and at any other time. The owner will also be available when you come to inspect the car.

This a two-owner, numbers matching 1965 Coupe equipped as follows:

This car was purchased on June 21,1965 at:

Sullivan Chevrolet Company
500 S. Vine
Urbana, IL

The car has resided within 5 miles of this dealership its whole life. In the mid 80's it was body-on restored which included a new laquer paint job, brakes and seat covers. Also, added at that time were knock-off wheels.

Among the original documents included with the sale of this car are:

-Copy of the 1965 title

Also, included are the original steel wheels, wheelcover and factory brake calipers. Further, the engine block, transmission, carb and alternator are the ones it left St. Louis with in June 1965.

This is an outstanding examples of a 1965 Corvette in a striking color combination of Tuxeco Black/Red. You will be hard pressed to find another car like this. The car is located 2.5 hours South of Chicago. Asking $69,000 OBO.

More detailed pictures will follow.

Beautiful color combination!...Question...Why is the temperature gauge reading 200 degrees with the ignition turned off?...Mark

glinares

The car had just been shut off at that time. We drove it thru the park for about 10 minutes then stopped to take some pictures.

Good eye!!!

Thanks,

Now I'm REALLY CONFUSED!!!!...unless I'm misreading/interputing your reply. The engine is "Running", yet the ignition key position shows "off", the tach reads "0" RPMS & there is NO oil pressure? & after driving "thru the park for about 10 minutes"....the trip odometer reads 0000...Mark

Rocket Science: the ignition was turned off...the tach goes to zero... the trip odometer does not work.....the car had not cooled off... they took the pictures??
And I wasn't there...

When the ignition is turned off, the temperature and fuel gauges remain stationary until power is restored to the gauges by turning on the ignition.

This is an odd question: why so cheap?

To me it seems like a reasonable asking price for such a nice car.

Kerouac

I agree. I didn't ask "Why so much?" I asked, "Why so cheap?" With those docs and that history, it would likely be higher. Are there mechanical issues?

As you can read, Gilnares stated; and I quote..." The car was running at the time"

Now after Editing Gilnares post reads; and I quote;...The car had just been shut off at that time. We drove it thru the park for about 10 minutes then stopped to take some pictures.

Good eye!!!

So my question is;...Was the car "running" when the photos were taken as indicated by glinares in his first "Unedited" post?

Or "The car had just been SHUT OFF" as indicated in the edited post.

Not looking to stir the pot, just looking to clarify the discrepancies...Mark

THANK YOU!....this helps, as I'm still learning about the idiosyncrasies of the C2s & a myriad of other cars!...Mark

glinares

Exactly.

Here are more pictures.

There are no mechanical issues. We drove the car on Friday for almost 30 minutes with no issues. My friend is downsizing and he wants this car to go to a good home. I suggested this site since this it has always been a good resource for me. I am usually in the C3 Forum but love the C2 cars.

Thanks,
George

In the first post, the exterior photos are with the car running. The interior photos are with the car off.

Beautiful car

IMO the the car is priced correctly/accurately. VERY nice car. You will have NO problems selling this car. Documenting a black midyear is impossible, so with the original docs you have on the car is a HUGE selling point. Stunning combo, GLWS. ARA

Nice looking car, priced fair, great docs! GLWS!
