1965 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COMVERTIBLE

HAVING BEEN AROUND THESE CARS SINCE THEY WERE NEW, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE: MOST OF US REALIZED WHEN WE FIRST SAW THE 1968 CORVETTE THAT THE END OF AN ERA HAD ARRIVED. SO BEGAN A PARTICULAR STATEMENT THAT HAS SINCE BEEN REPEATED MANY THOUSANDS OF TIMES& IF YOU EVER COME ACROSS A 1965, 6 OR 7 STINGRAY CONVERTIBLE WITH THE SPECIAL HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE AND FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL& WITHOUT GOING DIRECTLY DOWN THE LIST OF OTHER FEATURES THAT SET THIS PARTICULAR CORVETTE INTO: POSSIBLY A ONE OF ONE CATEGORY, LET ME FIRST SAY THAT THE OTHER STATEMENT MADE QUITE OFTEN IS: IF I COULD ONLY GO BACK 40 YEARS, THIS IS HOW I WOULD CHECK OFF THAT R. P. O. SHEET& WITH THAT SAID: YOU WILL QUICKLY UNDERSTAND WHY THIS STINGRAY EPITOMIZES ALL THAT IS CONSIDERED SACRED IN THE MID-YEAR CORVETTE COMMUNITY. SHOULD THERE BE ANY LINGERING DOUBT, THEN ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PICK UP A COPY OF ONE OF THE PUBLICATIONS THAT HAVE PRINTED THE PRODUCTION STATISTICS AS THEY PERTAIN TO THIS CARS EQUIPMENT AND OF COURSE&THEN VERIFY JUST HOW MANY CONVERTIBLE 4 SPEEDS MIGHT HAVE LEFT THE FACTORY RESEMBLING ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS&AFTERWARD YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE SEEM TO GET SO PASSIONATE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR CAR. TRY TO ALSO REMEMBER WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE COLOR, THAT IT TOO IS PART OF THE UNIQUE STATISTICAL EQUATION THAT SETS THIS CORVETTE ABOVE MOST ALL OTHERS. A DREAM CLASSIC HARDTOP ONLY CONVERTIBLE& IS A VERY GOOD WAY TO START. LOOK UNDER THE CONVERTIBLE DECK LID, THEN TRY TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAW ONE THAT HAS NOT EVER BEEN TRIMMED OUT FOR THE LATCHES. THEN LOOK UNDER THE HOOD WHERE ONE OF ONLY 5,011 OF THE TOTAL, 23,562 CORVETTES THAT WERE BUILT IN THE 1965 CORVETTE MODEL YEAR RECEIVED THIS COVETED 365 HORSEPOWER&327 CUBIC INCH ENGINE& NOW IF THAT WERE NOT QUITE RARE ENOUGH COUPLE THAT WITH THE FACT THAT ONLY 8,186 OF ALL THOSE CARS HAPPENED TO BE CONVERTIBLES. THE NEXT STEP IS TO COMBINE THOSE FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS WITH THE ALL TIME WINNER, WHEN IT COMES TO SEPARATING THE RARE FROM THE EXTREMELY RARE&AND MIGHT WE ADD MOST DESIRED. ONLY 872 ENDED UP AS FACTORY A/C CONVERTIBLES. HARDLY A 365 WITH A/C WAS EVER BUILT, MUCH LESS SURVIVED! ONLY 1,277 PEOPLE OPTED TO SAVE WEIGHT FOR RACING, BY DELETING ALL THE HEAVY HARDWARE THAT COMPRISED THE CONV. TOP MECHANISM. OF THOSE FEW PEOPLE& HOW MANY DO YOU FIGURE WERE GOING RACING WITH FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING?... JUST A BLAST TO DRIVE WITH THE HARDTOP OFF AND THE SIDEPIPES MAKING THEIR SWEET MUSIC. AN AM- FM FACTORY DELCO RADIO WAS ALSO ORDERED FOR THOSE TIMES WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE UP AND THE HARDTOP IS ON. TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT PERSONALITYS IN ONE COMPLETELY UNIQUE AUTOMOBILE&.
