This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette coupe was initially delivered to British Columbia, Canada, and was awarded an NCRS Top Flight award in 1995 and Bloomington Gold certification in 2020. Finished in Goldwood Yellow over white leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 396ci L78 V8 paired with a Muncie four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a PosiTraction differential, 15″ cast aluminum wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, side-exit exhaust outlets, power windows, chrome bumpers, and an AM/FM radio.
The 396ci L78 V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor for a factory rating of 425 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. A black-finished air cleaner lid and a chrome ignition cover are fitted. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and a PosiTraction differential.
The fiberglass body was factory-finished in Goldwood Yellow and was refinished. Details include a “power bulge” hood, flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, a side-exit exhaust system, and a retractable antenna.

The 15″ cast aluminum wheels feature knock-off hubs and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial narrow-whitewall tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in white leather joined by color-coordinated door panels and a black dashboard and center console. Appointments include a heater, a reverse-lockout shifter, an analog clock, power windows, and lap belts.
The teak wood steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature.
The five-digit odometer shows 1,300 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
