Pro Street fans, take note: this is how you build a vintage resto-mod that stands up to the test of time. There are so many hacked-up mid-year Corvettes out there with misguided attempts at modernization that this track-ready 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Pro Street roadster stands out simply by virtue of its insane curb appeal and attention to detail. Of course, the thundering 496 cubic inch big block with it's protruding blower doesn't hurt, and it's got the performance hardware to put all that extra horsepower to use without diminishing the fantastic original C2 look.
A mid-year Corvette roadster is nothing overly unique or incredibly special, right? Sure, they have that timeless Stingray look that we all love, but they've almost become so ubiquitous at car shows and on TV that they almost go unnoticed. And I'm quite sure that unfortunate development was on the drawing boards when this beauty was being restored, because the builders did just about everything they could to ensure this Pro Street stands out from the crowd. They started with an Art Morrison 2x4 square tube custom chassis with steel floors and wheel tubs, and a full 10 point roll cage NHRA certified to 8.5 all powder coated in black. And painting it bright Torch Red certainly helps, giving it an elegantly vivid, attention-grabbing look that respects the Corvette's storied pedigree, while still highlighting all the car's exciting upgrades. The cowl hood is a custom big block 'Stinger' piece that allows that huge motor and blower to stick out and breathe easy, there's a custom decklid out back that was fabricated to cover the oversized fuel cell and dual battery set-up, and the HUGE narrowed, lengthened, and tubbed rear end allows for those GIANT Mickey Thompson rubbers and Weld Racing rims to set the pouncing rake that make this 'Vette look like it's going 100MPH while standing still. Bodywork was nicely done a few years back (there's only 5,212 miles on the build) and looks very good still today with only a few signs of use, with great shut lines and a modern urethane shine on that slick red finish. If we'd have to guess, this was likely a very high-dollar paint job when it was applied, because it still looks so darn good today. The custom egg crate grille and rear chrome bumpers give the Corvette a classic sports car look and with the factory trim around the top and windows still in place, the brightwork sparkles against the high-impact bodywork. There's absolutely nothing on the exterior that wasn't tweaked, upgraded, or polished to a high shine during the restoration, and it's all holding up very well. And yes, that's an Art Morrison wheelie bar set-up out back, so this 'Lil Red Corvette is ready to stand-up and salute the crowd right off the line.
The custom interior does a great job matching the exterior's performance flash, with choice upgrades throughout the cabin. The black-and-red leather upholstery is a great choice with the bright red bodywork, suggesting someone with excellent taste was picking the colors. All the soft parts are in excellent shape, including the Monaco buckets lined with bright red piping and equipped with Simpson 5-point harness seatbelts, plush black carpets, custom door panels, and the original dash pad, so it all looks uniform and everything matches nicely. A full array of AutoMeter gauges are straight ahead of the driver, and along with the custom center console and roll cage, it feels like the cockpit of a fighter jet inside. And quite frankly, once you rev up the motor and watch the RPM's rise on the tach, it sounds like one, too. This C2 is also equipped with a sporty LeCarra steering wheel atop a tilt column, a Cheetah shifter in the custom center console that manages the built automatic transmission below, along with a heavy-duty roll cage inside that stiffens the body and makes this Corvette racetrack ready.
If you're trying to figure out what all the ruckus is about, you'll quickly get the picture when you open the rear-lift hood and find a thundering 496 V8 big block that grunts out HUGE horsepower thanks to the giant Big Al's Toybox supercharger kit perched up top. Finished in more polished aluminum bits than you'll find at a Goodguys show, it's a street-legal piece that was built to dominate at the track. There's a pair of Holley 4-barrel carbs on top, Wisco 8.5:1 pistons inside, long-tube headers, and an HEI ignition in addition to all the stout goodies inside. All that horsepower is handled with ease thanks to an Art Carr performance built 4L80E 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission with a 3500 stall, manual valve body, and a Hurst line-lock set-up on the Cheetah shifter. The reinforced chassis and custom suspension carries a power rack-and-pinion steering setup, coilovers, and custom tubular A-arms up front, along with coilovers out back along with a back-halved tub and 4-link set-up that carries a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end with Detroit locker 4.10 gears and Dutchman 38-spline axles inside, so nobody can accuse this of being a race-only piece. Wilwood power disc brakes with 12-inch rotors live at all four corners and the stainless Flowmaster dual exhaust system sounds simply spectacular. Rolling stock consists of Weld Racing wheels with a classic big-and-little set-up that features 31x18x15 Mickey Thompson rears tires out back that set the aggressive stance.
Brutally fast and supremely agile, this is the Corvette GM would have built with unlimited funds. With a huge big block motor, build transmission, and high-quality workmanship throughout, this is a car you can drive and show with pride. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
