Take a look as Pat McGinty, owner of McGinty Motorcars, and master mechanic, Tim, go to pick up a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 396 Big Block! This barn find was too good to pass up on so we purchased it and are going to get it ready for the road. Stay tuned for updates on the car throughout the restoration process with the TEAM! According to Corvsport.com: There were 23,564 Corvette Coupes/Convertibles built in 1965. 1965 Corvette Price & Options Core Features & Factory Options The big news for 1965 was not how the outside of the car looked, but rather what was under the hood. The new 396 CID V8 was by far the largest engine ever installed in a Corvette, and consequently had the most horsepower of any Corvette in history. And the introduction of the bigger engine would be a sign of things to come – as the engines would grow even larger in 1966. But for 1965, the other engines were all forms of the 327 CID V8. Base Corvettes had a 327 that was rated at 250 horsepower, but there were also three modified versions of the engine. One was rated at 300 horsepower, while the other used a different carburetor, a Holley, to bump up the rating to 365 horsepower. But the top of the 327’s was the fuel-injected engine, which produced 375 horsepower. The downside of this engine, however, was that it added $726 to the base price of the car, while the new 396 added only $481. Most Corvette fans welcomed the newly standard four-wheel disc brakes, though the car did come with the option of a $64.50 credit to those who chose to eliminate this standard feature. 316 Corvettes were ordered without the disc brakes in 1965. Other than the new bucket seats and the leather seating option, the interior of the car stayed largely the same for 1965 as well. Colors 1965 Corvette colors included Tuxedo Black, Ermine White, Nassau Blue, Glen Green, Milano Maroon, Silver Pearl, Rally Red, Goldwood Yellow. The most popular color was Nassau Blue with almost 26% of cars being made in that hue. Glen Green (16%), Rally Red (15.7%) and Milano Maroon (12%) were also popular in 1965. See more details on 1965 colors.
