About the Chevrolet Corvette C2
The C2 Sting Ray arrived in 1963 with independent rear suspension and distinctive Larry Shinoda styling. This representative 1965 coupé uses the standard 327/250 V8 and three-speed manual rather than the rarer high-output engines. Four-wheel disc brakes became standard for 1965, improving confidence in a car built for strong American road performance. Condition, originality and the engine specification have a major effect on collectability.
