Its not everyday that you run across a number's matching car and very hard to find the ones that are big blocks. Well we have a number's matching and first year for the big block Corvette! In 1965 a total of 23,564 Corvette's were made and 8,186 of them happen to be Coupes and only 2,157 of them were equipped with the big block. If you are a Corvette Collector you will want this gem in your collection. This car was of course built right here in St Louis and was first sold at a dealership out in California. We know this detail because the original window sticker and owner's manual come with the car which is another piece that you can't find most of the time. This car is powered by the amazing 396 cubic inch Big Block rated at 425 horsepower. It is mated to the optional 4 speed manual transmission which is backed by the Posi Traction rear end. It is painted its original color which is Silver Pearl and is also equipped with the side exhaust. It originally came with the quick take off wheels, but now has a set of Chrome Torq Thrust Wheels. Another rare...

Modern technology and vintage looks make for the best of both worlds in Resto Modding, especially it seems when the object of one's creative urges is a mid-year Corvette. Whether in coupe or convertible form, the original Stingray body style is still as fresh and exciting today as it was when introduced in 1963; when retrofitted with modern powerplants, suspension, brakes, interiors, paint and wheel/tire combinations, the results can be spectacular.

In the case of this 1966 Corvette convertible. The complete frame-off build began with the complete disassembly and preparation of the frame. All the seams were welded and the cleaned-up piece was powder coated Red for maximum durability and to match the car's mouth-watering Red and White base/clear coat color scheme, including the Stinger stripe on the big-block hood. A 427 CI Generation 5 big block Merlin engine uses advanced Bigstuff3 electronic fuel injection to generate copious power through a close ratio M21 4-speed to a 4. 11 rear end. Boyd Coddington 18-inch spoked alloy wheels are used in conjunction with power rack and pinion steering and custom Precision 4-wheel disc brakes, and shorter half shafts are employed to accommodate the car's wider rear tires. With all those changes, the...

This Sunfire Yellow drop-top is part of the 2nd generation of Corvettes often referred to as 'Sting Rays. ' With '67 being the final year for the iconic C2 generation of Corvettes, this is truly the last of its breed and one of the most sought-after Corvettes in history. This example came with the potent L79 327 CID V8, producing a stock 350HP. The owner states it's the original engine and 4-speed manual transmission; however, Gateway Classic Cars is not able to verify or certify this. The 327 is topped by a decidedly non-original Holley 4bbl carburetor, which provides plenty of fuel delivery. Firing up the mighty mouse V8 will set this beast into a lopey burble at idle, but one stomp on the loud pedal and this beast will wail. While you're enjoying the rowdy 327's power, you'll...

Heading into the mid-60s Chevy was on a hot streak! Corvette had been performing well, both on the track and on paper. Recently off the successful and well received C1 design the C2 debuted in 1963 and the world was ready. The launch of the C2 Stingray captivated America and nearly everybody was itching to get behind the wheel of what would become one of the most loved generations of the long running Corvette line! Especially considering the C2 era only spanned from 1963-67. Speaking of getting behind the wheel, now over 50 years removed you have the same opportunity. Here we have a stunning '66 model, and she isn't your dad's old Corvette anymore. The Volcano Red paint is striking and different than you typical red Corvette. The black cloth top is in nice shape and operates manually. The side pipes and Rev 17' wheels give her an aggressive stance! Inside you'll find very sharp black leather seats with red stitching to match the exterior tones. Under the hood, lying in wait and ready to strike is a fuel injected 5. 7L LS1 V8 engine with power running down through a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. To bring her to a...

A restoration was done about 10 years ago bringing this beauty to the quality that you see here today. The Silver Blue paint was lovingly laid over the sweeping curves of this classic Corvette, with the White coves popping in contrast. The restoration for the Corvette was a frame-off, and many of the components for the vehicle were either replaced, refurbished, or repaired as needed. the original frame was unfortunately rotted, so it was replaced with a unit from a much warmer climate. In addition, the transmission was replaced with a 4-speed unit, and...
