This Corvette rolled off the assembly line of GM's St. Louis factory in February of 1965. It was delivered new to Guaranty Chevrolet of Santa Ana, California, before being purchased on April 5, 1965, by Robert McBride of nearby Buena Park. The car came equipped with the L76 V-8 engine, a 4-barrel carbureted motor with a compression ratio of 11.0:1, good for 365 hp and an outstanding 350 lbs/ft. of torque. The engine's high-lift camshaft delivers performance dividends that are supplemented by the car's sporty side-mounted exhaust pipes, an option featured on a mere 759 examples during the 1965 model year. Mechanical options such as power brakes and a Posi-Traction rear axle are complemented by cosmetic amenities such as knock-off wheels, a teak wood steering wheel, am/fm radio and a leather interior.
The car is painted in Tuxedo Black paint which was a rare 1965 color option that accounted for slightly more than 5% of the year's total production output.
In the 2000s, the car was given a restoration that refreshed its mechanical systems and cosmetic details.
In 2011, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Amelia Island, Florida. It was estimated to sell for $80,000 - $100,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $59,400, inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2011
