If you’re a fan of vintage racing and classic American muscle, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a dream come true. This iconic Corvette has a storied history, having been modified for racing right from the get-go back in 1965. Originally tearing up the tracks of Southern California, it’s seen its fair share of competition until the 1980s.
Fast-forward to the 2000s and Terry Gough got his hands on it. He thoroughly refurbished it to bring it back to its former glory. Gough raced it in vintage events for over a decade before passing it on to its current owner in 2012.
This Corvette is a true powerhouse. Under the hood roars a 327 cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a Super T-10 four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It’s got all the performance goodies you’d expect, including a Holley carburetor, Hooker headers, and a reinforced steering box.
But it’s not just about raw power. This beauty is equipped with modern racing tech like a roll cage, fire suppression system, and a Simpson harness to keep the driver safe at high speeds. The cockpit is stripped down for business, with black bucket seats, a minimalist dashboard housing essential gauges, and a shift light.
Outside, the fiberglass body is a sight to behold, finished in classic white with blue racing stripes. The front end mimics the look of concealed headlights, adding to its aggressive stance. The American Racing alloy wheels with blue centers add a touch of style, while the VBP composite rear mono spring keeps it planted on the tarmac.
Now, this piece of racing history is up for grabs. Whether you’re a seasoned racer looking for your next challenge or a collector with a passion for vintage muscle, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Race Car is sure to turn heads and make hearts race.
