1965 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
1965 told the tale of two Corvettes. The 1965 Chevrolet Corvette was the last to be a "Fuelie;" fuel injection would make its final appearance in the '65 Sting Ray.
In April of 1965, Chevrolet released its first big-block V8, a 396-ci monster rated at 425 horsepower. Luckily for drivers, 1965 also brought the addition of standard four-wheel disc brakes so that the 'vette could stop after gaining so much power from this engine.
The big-block engines were identifiable by the "power bulge" they created in the hood. (Yeah, go ahead and giggle. That's what it was called.)

Nassau blue with a blue leather interior and a white rag top. 350HP numbers matching 327 small block with a Muncie 4 speed. Mild fender flares added to the car in 1966 to accommodate wider wheels and tires. Polished American Racing Torque Thrust rims (15x8 in front, 15x10 out back). Fun to drive or just polish in the driveway. Feb 23, 2014

Good looking car in the natural color trend of the late 70's. At 195 horsepower, it
was fast for the time but a dog of a car. The air conditioner compressor sounded
like a bucket of bolts at idle or on deceleration. The heat of the transmission
made it intolerable to remove the roof panels in nice weather. I sold this car
when gas went to $1.25 and it was getting 16 mpg at best.Dec 28, 2012

I love everything about it, gas milage better then expected, maintenance cost very low acceleration takes off like a rocket, feels real safe when driving fits and feels like a glove, handles corners like a Indy car. It's a blast to drive especially with top off everyone waves when I stop for gas everone comes over to me and tells me how hot it is and keeps wanting to talk to me. quiet with hard top on, see easy no blind spots. It's a one of a kind special changes would sell more in the hot rod class than original. The coolest car you've ever seenJul 04, 2011

It was a great sports car in its time, has great body line, performance for the 327 was fair, poor braking system, Handling was fair nothing to write home about. Everyone wanted a ride in it. I purchased the Vette in 1970 with 59k miles on it paid $1200.00 for it. Did a lot of work Mechanical, body was in excellent condition. Sorry to this day for selling itNov 15, 2008

My Grandpa bought this car in 1967 for $3000. Now it is worth way over 40,000.

1965 chevy 327; ran fine for last 20 years; started it one day, barely ran, no power like running on 4 cylinders. Changed: electronic ignition, plugs, coil, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, fuel tank sock. Checked to make sure timing was in spec. Air filter not blocked (K&N). Still runs like crap; I am out of ideas. Help!!
