1965 Corvette Convertible ( 396 Clone ) with 4 speed transmission. UU Code Rally Red paint, Black interior and White soft top. This is a very restorable just don't have the time to go through it. The motor has less than a 1,000 miles with date correct 396 Block, Rectagular Port Heads and Aluminum Intake. I spent over 20K converting this from a non matching numbers 327 to a 396 producing over 425HP. Options include Original AM/FM Radio, Telescopic Steering Column, After Market Knockoff Wheel, Correct Tires, Power Steering and Hardtop.
I have owned the car since 1982 and believe this is the original paint. It may have had one repaint but not sure. The car needs to be repainted. The entire drive train is in great shape.

I have added a few new pictures based on some recent questions concerning the frame and number of paint jobs. The frame is in good shape for being 48 years old but could use some attention on the driver side frame rail in front of the rear tire. The rest of the frame is in great shape. I lightly DA the car with 150 grit to show that there has been two repaints since original, not bad considering the age of the car sorry for any confusion.

Trying to answere all the question I'm getting I have included a picture of the passenger side engine block and a spare block I have that is not included in this auction but will be available to the purchaser for an additional cost. These blocks are so rear and getting more expensive each day.It always makes sense to have a spare block for this type of car.
I have listed some of the major costs in the past couple of years to convert to a 396. It cost me in parts alone about 20K
Bare Block # 3855962 = $3,000
Bare Heads # 3856208 = $3,500
Stock Intake #386693 = $400
Big Block Hood = $1,100
Rotating Assembly = $1,500
Stock Crank = $300
Machine Shop Labor & Parts =$4,000
Big Block Core Support = $450
Big Block Fan Shroud = $335
Big Block Radiator = $600
Clutch Assembly & Linkage = $325
Big Block Bell Housing = $300
Water Pump / Alternator Brackets & Pulleys= $500
New White Top = $400
Power Steering Pump & Brackets = $375
Air Cleaner / Valve Covers = $225
Major parts total $17,310 and this is only about 80% of the cost not including labor

Hi
I can't believe the number of questions I have been getting and want to make sure there are no surprises for the bidders. When I purchased this car back in 1983 the insurance company ( as they do with Corvettes back in the 80's) wanted to inspect the car. and what they found was a VIN TAG they thought had been tampered with and required me to put Massachusetts VIN #'s on the car. The original VIN # 194675S119235 does match the numbers on the frame and at the time I didn't feel like fighting with the registry over the numbers. I have added pictures of the CORVETTE VIN TAG / CORVETTE DATA TAG & The Massachusetts VIN #. It can be changed back and there are companies that do that for you it just never was a big deal for me.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
