This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray is a fresh, frame-off restoration of one of the most significant cars of the C2 era a first-year big-block carrying the legendary RPO L78, the 396-cubic-inch, 425-horsepower "Turbo Jet" V8 that arrived midway through 1965 and effectively ended the run of the fuel-injected small-block. Only 2,157 Corvettes were built with the L78 396 that year, with coupes making up the smaller share, which puts this car among the rarest of the first big-block Corvettes. Finished in Nassau Blue over a blue interior with white seats and backed by a factory 4-speed turning a 3.36 rear axle, it wears VIN 194375S118903 and is documented from new by its NCRS Shipping Data Report, which records a GM production date of June 2, 1965 and original delivery to Ray Bryant Chevrolet in Dayton, Ohio.
