Item description

1965 Corvette Convertible -- 327/365 HP -- L-76 optioned - Nassau Blue with White Leather seats. 4 Speed Manual.
I have owned this car for 10 years and I believe I am the third owner. I bought this car in Ventura California and
it has lived in my collection in Beverly Hills for the past decade. It has been driven very lightly, mostly to
local shows and cruise nights.
327/365 HP -- 4 Speed - Matching Numbers - California Car - Original L-76 - Original Blue/White
I am posting this listing this morning just to start the auction -- I will include the quick pics I took with my
phone. I am going to take the car to my shop in Van Nuys and see if I can't get it up on a lift and take some
under carriage shots and get some lit shots of the stamps and castings.
I remember that before I bought the car, I took many pictures of the stamps and castings and I was particularly
focused on the engine stamp pad. The stamp was the original and had never been decked or smoothed and restamped.
There is however an additional stamp on the Engine Stamp Pad that says "performance clinic" -- which an NCRS judge
explained to me was an engine shop that did factory warranty work on Corvettes in the '60's thru '80's. I am 100%
confident that this is the original motor that came with this car.
