This is our 1965 Corvette Coupe that we purchased in March 2004. Barry has wanted to have a Corvette since he was 12 years old so this is a dream come true for him, The color of the car is Milano Maroon with a black leather interior and comes optioned with the 327ci/365hp motor, factory side pipes, teak steering wheel, and am/fm radio.

When we purchased the car, it had approx. 500 miles on it after a four year body-off restoration. The only part of the car that had not been completely restored or replaced was the paint job that was in very good condition and approx. 12-15 years old and was in the original factory lacquer type paint.

We have been making some improvements in the car since we got her including sending her out for a complete new paint job, having the leather seats redone, refinishing most of the interior trim molding panels and headliner, and a complete freshening up of the motor and engine bay.

Linda and I love to take the car for drives and just enjoy it for what it was built for - DRIVING. We also enjoy going to various car shows with it and participating in activities and events with our local Corvette Club http://www.vetteclub.org
