Gorgeous, frame-off restored, 1965 Rally Red Stingray Coupe with lush red leather interior, rebuilt fire breathing 396 engine, estimated at 400+ horsepower enhanced by thunderous factory side exhaust, shifted into high gear by a rebuilt Muncie 4-speed, rolling on turbine styled knock-off rims and brand new red line radials.  This exceptional big block roadster was owned by the previous owner for over 25 years before his recent passing. It is far from an original L78 car, it has had extensive frame-off restoration with less than 4k miles and had been enhanced for performance, drivability and driving pleasure. The car an original green on green car with  61154 miles and was transformed to a red on red car in the early 2000s and now has 65120 miles on the car a 4k miles on the build. The car was part of an 8 car,  climate controlled, high-end collection and was driven sparingly.  This Rally Red Stingray was the owners pride and joy show car, that has mirror finished Rally Red paint and show chrome all the way around. The fiberglass body has beautiful body lines, very tight panel fitment and was sanded down to the bare gelcoat before being professionally painted. Under the big block bulge hood is a 1968-1969, HIGH PERF 4-bolt main 396 big block, that was professionally built and bored with a little more performance in mind and is now estimated at 400 plus horsepower and will definitely sit you back in the seat. The transmission and clutch were also rebuilt and have less than 4k miles. The brakes were also rebuilt and recently serviced for safety. The original green interior was completely removed and new red leather interior was installed durning the restoration process, with new leather seat covers, cushions, new door panel and carpet. The dash was repainted with new red dash pads and has very nice clear crisp instrumentation and retains its original clock, AM/FM radio and has a desirable teak wood steering wheel.  This 1965 Rally Red Corvette Stingray is an incredible car that is exhilarating to drive with factory side exhaust that sounds like a Harley on four wheels, rolling on Kelsey Hayes styled reproduction knock-off wheels wrapped in new redlines radials to put the rubber to the road.
