The 1965 Corvette is a timeless gem. It is as beautiful today as it was back in 1965. It will never get old only better. Enjoy. [nt]

And the performance......
In 65 this was car must have been incredible. Fuel injection, Disk brakes and electric windows in 65 This was the future !
Pretty much the ultimate 'Vette. I'm acquainted with the owner of a '70 ZL-1 . . .
. . . which would be the other candidate; our own Jerry W also has a black '65 split. Art
I believe that split window Corvettes, good Dr, were only 1963.
And for some reason I feel like I heard Jerry no longer has his?
You're right, Jed. I thought Jerry's was a '65 . . .
. . . although my brain cells could be misfiring on that, too.
After 27 years of ownership I did part with my 1963 Split Window.
Did not think I would ever sell it. I do miss it but I have too many other distractions right now. That was my second 1963 air coupe, first year for AC in a Corvette. They built 278. ...
Thanks, I wish so also.
After it was restored in 2006 it was a different car. Everything was tight and it rode well. I also had a 66 roadster with 60k miles. It was a driver but it was loose and rough. Amazing difference when you have all new shocks, bushings, motor mounts, etc....
No, but I did get to play with Bobby's Tad Kohara cue . . .
. . . also ca early '70s. Here's a video clip of Jim . . . . . . making a 4-rail kick with it. He has, amongst other cool collectibles, Pepsi and root beer 1675s . . . . . . not to mention Jacques Cousteau's . . . . . . (yes, really!) Doxa, plus a few oth...
Fond memories of my Dad's '66.
American Icon, the Corvette. I was raised on Corvettes and Harleys. Americana at its best!
Thank you for asking!
My earliest memories were when he built custom, old school choppers in his spare time ( Los Angeles, circa 1970-71). Then I remember his '57 Corvette. Wicked fast, and though my two older brothers were the "tough guys," ( I was the "good kid" that didn't ...
Great Memories !
Thanks for sharing your memories. That trip from LA to Nashville with your Dad must have been great. Do you have any photos that you could share with us ? Thanks again
The 65 Corvette was a great year.
The disk brakes were a huge improvement over the old drum brakes. In the late 70’s I talked my father into buying a 1957 Corvette. He liked it so much we started buying and restoring Corvettes to factory condition and showing them all over the USA. Great ...
Sounds like you had some fun ....
and hard work . It’s always a lot easier to dismantle a classic car than put it back together.
