1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents a superbly preserved and extremely well-documented mid-year Corvette, finished in its factory-correct Goldwood Yellow over a black leather interior. Sold new at Paramount Chevrolet in Downey, California, this car benefits from a known history and long-term stewardship, having remained with one owner for over 30 years—a rarity among mid-year Corvettes today.

Under the hood is the numbers-matching 327 CI V-8, factory rated at 300 HP, paired with a 3.36 Positraction rear axle that delivers the perfect balance of performance and drivability. This example is highly optioned from new, including factory air conditioning, power steering, tinted glass and the desirable telescopic steering wheel, making it both an engaging driver and a comfortable grand touring Corvette. The exterior presentation is elevated by knock-off aluminum wheels and factory back-up lights, while the cabin retains its period-correct feel with a factory AM/FM radio and original finishes that reflect careful ownership rather than over-restoration.

What sets this Corvette apart is its exceptional documentation. Accompanying the car are the original bill of sale, Protect-O-Plate, and finance contract, offering rare provenance that collectors increasingly value. This level of originality and paperwork firmly establishes the car as a blue-chip example of Chevrolet’s iconic second-generation Corvette. Combined with its desirable options and beautiful presentation, this well-documented example offers a compelling opportunity to acquire mid-year Corvette with history, authenticity and enduring appeal.
