28-Years-Owned 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible L84 327/375 Fuelie 4-Speed
Presentation
This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was assembled in the final month of the model year. It was first delivered to and sold new through Brigance Chevrolet of Oak Park, Illinois, and was acquired by the seller in 1998. The car is powered by a fuel-injected 327ci L84 V8 linked with a replacement four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential. The fiberglass body is refinished in green over black vinyl upholstery, and equipment includes a transistor ignition system, body-color removable hardtop, black convertible soft top, 15″ reproduction knock-off wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, an AM/FM radio, chrome bumpers, and retractable headlights. This C2 is now offered in Carpinteria, California, with an owner’s manual, an additional four-speed manual transmission, five steel wheels with four hubcaps, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The fiberglass body was finished at the factory in Glen Green (GG) and refinished under previous ownership. Features include a body-color removable hardtop, a black convertible soft top, flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, Soft Ray tinted glass, a driver-side mirror, and a retractable antenna. The windshield washer fluid canister needs to be replaced. The turn signals are functional, but the left turn signal detent needs adjustment to work as it should.
Reproduction 15″ cast aluminum wheels feature knock-off hubs and are mounted with 205/75 Coker Classic tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. The car is equipped with Bilstein shock absorbers, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs. The seller notes that a four-wheel alignment is needed. Five steel wheels with four hub caps are included in the sale.
The seller tells us that the seats and carpeting were replaced in preparation for the sale. Amenities include a heater, an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and lap belts. Wear is noted on the soft top liner.
A teakwood steering wheel is mounted to the telescoping column, and it frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 56k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.
The 327ci L84 V8 featured Ramjet fuel injection and a high-lift camshaft to produce a factory-rated 375 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. It also utilizes a transistor ignition system, The seller tells us that the water pump, radiator, and heater core were replaced in preparation for the sale.

This car is truly a piece of Corvette history. It is widely believed by Corvette experts, including those associated with the 1965 Fuelie Registry, to be the last fuel-injected Corvette produced. The car is documented in the 1965 Fuelie Registry, and I’ve included a link to its registry listing below. A very special Corvette with a significant place in Corvette history, being offered by an outstanding seller. GLWS! 1965 Fuelie Registry Listing: https://ibb.co/m5cT87QP

It’s been part of a Corvette collection with many other cars in the same situation.

I'll guess. Because he didn't want to? Maybe he liked owning it, without hardly ever driving it. Not everyone enjoys their vettes the same way, and that's ok. It's a free country.

We believe this car is the last, or one of the last, mechanical fuel-injected Corvettes manufactured. Please check out the pictures showing research of other VINs that goes back to the 1970s. The car is part of a collection of the owner of Corvette Service Company in California.

No known history of damage. I'm sure you see the other new comments about the side emblem configuration being correct.

Wow ,,, rare bird here, especially ordered the last month of production …When the 396/425 was offered in Feb sales of FI engines plummeted …the 396 had 50 HP more and cost less than half of the Fuelie!

Side emblems are correct for 1965 Fuel Injection. Nothing is missing. GLWA

No flags on a 65 FI car
Nov 3, 2026 · 19:15
Lovely candidate for restoration and although the paint has obviously seen better days there probably not many green 65 Fuelies out there.
Nov 3, 2026 · 19:09
Is there any history of damage ?? Wondering why the flag emblems are not on the fenders..
Nov 3, 2026 · 18:43
Can I see a good photo of the stamping on the right-hand side of the FI unit
Thanks
