1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C2 327 V8 – The American Dream in Ermine White
Some cars are icons. A few are legends. But only one wears the name Stingray.
Here at Automotive Romance, we are proud to present this 1965 Corvette C2 327 V8 Coupé, finished in shimmering Ermine White, beautifully contrasted with a Saddle Tan interior that oozes period charm.
Brought to the UK in 2016, this Stingray was gradually restored in New York by its previous owner, working alongside skilled professionals to bring every element back to life. The results are breathtaking: engine, gearbox, suspension, chassis, and brakes all extensively rebuilt. The legendary 327 cu. in V8, producing 300 bhp, runs with effortless strength, its deep voice matched by the precision of the Muncie 4-speed gearbox and LSD. The short, crisp shifts deliver power in the most intoxicating way.
Equipped with power steering and upgraded Vintage Air conditioning with thermostat cooling fan, this Corvette is both a grand cruiser and a sharp, nimble machine. It glides with ease when you want serenity, but with one press of the throttle, it surges forward with American muscle might – a car that offers both comfort and drama in equal measure.
The bodywork is outstanding, its paintwork recently corrected. Every detail shines – chrome in excellent order, immaculate engine bay, crisp badges, and Kelsey Hayes alloy wheels wearing healthy tyres. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a cabin that feels alive with history – Saddle Brown seats, matching carpets, door cards, and distinctive dash, with an upgraded digital radio/ cassette blending modern convenience with vintage style. Even the original clock still ticks after six decades – a detail that speaks to the care this car has received.
Accompanied by a huge history file, including two bulging folders of paperwork, this Stingray is not just a car – it is a story, a legacy, and a dream preserved. Rare, appreciating, and utterly captivating, it is without question one of the finest examples available today.
A true collector’s car, a driver’s car, an icon – all in one. The C2 Corvette Stingray is a machine that stirs the soul.
