65 Roadster
Its a 65 roadster 327/350 hp white/blk disc brakes all around, no A/C, power steering. 1 4brl, 2.1 dual exahust, hydraulic lifters.
2 rear ends 373 and original rear end. removable hard top, soft top, 38000 original miles, original engine (matching numbers) original owner bought it new in 1965. original manuals protecto plate, most stuff. corvette lapel pin. knock off wheels. white stripe radials. 4 speed close ratio transmission.

It has not been repainted good shape for the age, no accidents, runs fine, its showing signs of age cloudy instrument panel gauges, chrome plating coming off dashboard. little rust on the door hinge, seats cracks. stuff like that, nothing major.

I am trying to get an idea of what its worth.

Is the frame rusty?
Does everything work?

Welcome aboard Vref.

One way of getting to a price is for you to tell us what your intentions are for this car.

From your description and from the photos, there is a possibility it may be a good candidate for "Survivor".

Maybe you're thinking full restore for judging?

If it's a driver you're looking for, different value (to you).
 
Is that a chrome strip along the side?
Or a shadow. I never saw one like that.
It does look pretty nice but the frame is what counts.
Good luck
 
I would guess in the 30's low 40's if you loose the molding.
(If everything is in great shape as mentioned)
If they drilled holes to install the molding it might be a pain in the azz
touching it up. Good survivor candidate if its as you say.

Well I am not into a show piece. I think it would need restoring in the future but for now, I was planning on using it for a weekend toy. Its always been a driver.

Its a rubber molding that he put on to protect the car from door dents.

What do you mean by survivor? Yep I think it has holes.

Thanks
