I have now found a '65 coupe that I am thinking about purchasing and would like opinions on what it might be worth. It is matching numbers, red, 327 350 horse, 4 sp, side pipes, 5 Kelsey Hayes knock off wheels, factory AC, Teak steering wheel, telescoping column, black leather interior, AM/FM radio, no PS or PB. It was restored about 700 miles ago ahd looks good and clean.
Our opinions as to what a car is worth is useless. That's because they are opinions. But since you asked; here goes.
Matching Numbers: aren't they all? Don't pay more for matching numbers unless you just like spending additional money for a vehicle that doesn't do anything more than any other vehicle.
Color RED: Oh boy, be still my beating heart. Yet another red Corvette. Doesn't mean it isn't a pretty color or isn't a good car. And you can always repaint it.
327/350, 4 spd, side pipes. Personally, I like all of that stuff.
Knock off wheels: Have never been my favorite but if I were truly interested in a car I would not let that be a deciding factor to purchase or not. As all five are there it could be a good thing. You can always sell them to someone who DOES like them and has to have them.
Factory A/C, Scoper column, Teak wheel. SWEEEEET ! ! !
AM/FM radio: If it is like my car you won't hear it over the side pipes anyway.
Black Leather interior. Looks great and will be HOT as a bastard on your skin. You are gonna need that factory air to be working well.
No P/S, No P/B: I would change that quickly to make the car more enjoyable to drive.
It sounds like you have found a nice car and it should be in great condition if as freshly restored/refurbished as you state.
My worthless opinion on price is between 40K and 55K.
Good luck with whatever car you decide to purchase.
