It’s optioned with the 396. 4-speed. wood rimmed steering wheel and gold line tires. Restored a number of years ago. but recently had a spruce up and the paint is beautiful! It’s awesome to look at and awesome to drive! The ’65’s were milestone Corvettes. It was the first year for standard disc brakes. the last year for Fuel Injection and of course. the introduction of the mighty 396 big block! Only of little over 2k of these beasts were built and it was the only year the 396 was available in a Corvette! So. it’s a rare piece to be sure! Don’t miss your opportunity to not only acquire a 396. but a multi award winning. Duntov 396!! For the C2 generation’s third production year. the 1965 Corvette Sting Ray was not only further cleaned up style-wise. but was muscled up in a big way with the addition of an all-new braking system and beefier motor options. A trio of functional air vents in the front fenders and a smoothed-out hood distinguish the 1965 Corvette from earlier C2s. Other styling alterations to the 1965 were redesigned wheel covers. rocker-panel moldings and minor interior trim revisions. The big news in 1965 was underneath the fiberglass exterior with the addition of standard four-wheel disc brakes to help stop the ’65 as well as upgraded motor options. The brakes feature a four-piston design with two-piece calipers and cooling fins for the rotors. Pads were in constant contact with the rotors. but the resulting drag was negligible and didn't affect fuel economy. Further. the light touching kept the rotors clean and didn't diminish pad life. Total swept area for the new system was 461 square inches. a notable advance on the 328 square inches of the previous all-drum system. Per pending federal regulation. there was also a dual master cylinder with separate fluid reservoirs for the front and rear lines. Tests found that repeated stops from 100 mph produced no deterioration in braking efficiency. and even the most sudden stops were rock-stable. Then in mid-March of ’65 another mechanical addition became available. a new optional V-8. Officially called Mark IV but marketed as the Turbo Jet. the new engine was a 396-cid with 425hp. A 427 version was also produced. but not available until ’66. The Mark IV was a totally new motor. The new block had 4. 84 inches between bore centers. a bore of 4. 094 inches. and a stroke of 3. 75 inches. flat deck sitting perpendicular to the cylinder axis. Main bearings were 2. 75 inches in diameter. Main-bearing width was also increased. adding two full inches to the cap-clamping surface. The forged-steel crankshaft was cross-drilled to deliver oil to the rod bearings through a full 360 degrees of rotation. The standard 396 came with hydraulic lifters. a four-barrel carburetor. but the Corvettes version got solid lifters. 11:1 compression. impact-extruded alloy pistons with chrome rings and a bigger carburetor. The end result was a whopping 425hp. Not short on performance. with even the moderate 3. 70:1 rear axle. it could do standing quarter-miles of around 14 seconds at terminal speeds of 102-104 mph. Given enough road it would show a top speed of nearly 140 mph; numerically higher or lower axle ratios would respectively deliver even faster acceleration or higher top speed of 160 mph. Never satisfied. the designers then added even more performance in the form of stiffer front springs and sway bar. a special rear sway bar. super-heavy-duty clutch. a larger radiator and cooling fan were included with the 396 option. For instant recognition of the monster at rest. the hood was changed designed with an aggressive-looking hood bulge with non-functional vents.
