We are pleased to offer for sale a particularly remarkable example of the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray Convertible Roadster, which is in exceptional condition and features a very attractive configuration.
A true icon of 1960s American automotive design, the Corvette C2 is now one of the generations most sought after by collectors. Produced from 1963 to 1967, it marked a radical departure from the Corvette C1 and introduced a completely new style that was at once spectacular, aggressive, and timeless.
A line that has become legendary
Under the leadership of Bill Mitchell, then head of design at General Motors, and thanks to the talent of designer Larry Shinoda, the Corvette C2 featured a silhouette that was revolutionary for its time.
Its retractable headlights, sculpted fenders, taut lines, and exceptionally low profile give it an instantly recognizable character. In the convertible version, this design takes on an even more elegant quality and perfectly highlights the Sting Ray’s proportions.
The 1965 model year is particularly noteworthy within the C2 generation. It features numerous technical advancements and, for many enthusiasts, represents one of the most accomplished model years of this generation.
A particularly sought-after 1965 model
This Corvette is equipped with its original 327 ci V8 engine—approximately 5.4 liters—producing 304 ch, paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmissionwith reverse.
The combination of the small-block V8 and the manual transmission delivers a quintessentially American driving experience: generous torque, the distinctive sound of a V8, and pure driving pleasure.
The 1965 model year also benefited from major upgrades to the C2’s chassis, notably the four disc brakes and the independent rear suspension, which played a major role in the Sting Ray’s handling.
Matching Numbers & Matching Colors
One of the main strengths of this copy is its exceptional consistency, which makes it highly sought after by collectors.
The car is listed as “Matching Numbers,” with its original powertrain, and also retains its original Riverside Red paint, a particularly iconic color that perfectly complements the Corvette C2’s lines.
This magnificent red dress is paired with interior upholstery in excellent condition and a brand-new black vinyl soft top, creating a particularly elegant contrast.
In exceptional condition
This Corvette is in show-car condition, with special attention paid to both its appearance and its maintenance.
The chassis is described as being in perfect condition, and the car has never been in an accident. The interior is also exceptionally well-preserved, notably featuring its superb three-spoke steering wheel made of wood and brushed aluminum—a hallmark of the sporty yet refined ambiance of the 1960s Corvette.
All of the instruments are working perfectly.
The features and accessories included in this configuration—particularly the power windows, which were an optional feature at the time—further enhance the appeal of this vehicle.
The black vinyl convertible top, which was recently replaced, lets you enjoy the car to the fullest whether it's open or closed.
A car being tracked by professionals
This vehicle also has a particularly reassuring maintenance history.
The car has been maintained for more than 12 years by recognized professionals, demonstrating consistent attention to its mechanics, maintenance, and preservation.
This track record is a real asset for a collector looking for a Corvette that’s ready to drive and enjoy right away, without having to undertake a restoration or major upgrade.
A true classic car
More than six decades after its debut, the Corvette C2 continues to captivate with its style and character.
Rarely has an American car left such a lasting mark on the history of automotive design. Today, the C2 combines several highly sought-after qualities: timeless aesthetics, a V8 engine, a manual transmission, a chassis design that was sophisticated for its time, and significant heritage value.
As a Roadster convertible, with its 327 ci V8, manual transmission, "Matching Numbers" configuration, and Riverside Red paint, this example meets many of the criteria sought after by collectors of classic Corvettes.
Ready to hit the road
The car is currently available at our dealership and comes with a French "collection" vehicle registration certificate.
It will come with a 12-month warranty—a particularly welcome feature for a 61-year-old classic car—which demonstrates our confidence in the condition and quality of this vehicle.
