If subtlety isn’t your thing, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe definitely won’t blend into the background. Listed on eBay by a dealer in South Carolina, this C2 Corvette leans hard into individuality, wearing a bright pink exterior over a maroon interior and leaning on classic big-presence Corvette hardware underneath. Thanks for the tip, Curvette!
According to the listing, this is a 1965 Corvette Stingray Coupe equipped with a V8 and a four-speed manual transmission. The seller describes it as a strong-running example with factory power steering and power brakes, along with Positraction and four-wheel disc brakes—features that made mid-year Corvettes such serious performance machines in their day. An original AM/FM radio is also noted, adding a touch of period-correct detail inside the cabin.
The car is presented as structurally sound, with the seller stating it has never been wrecked and does not suffer from frame rust or body stress cracks. Those are important claims for any C2 Corvette, given how critical the chassis and fiberglass condition are to long-term ownership and value. Mechanically, it’s positioned as a turn-key driver rather than a project, with emphasis placed on how well it runs and drives.
Of course, the defining feature here is the paint. The seller calls it a “one of a kind” Pink Panther Corvette, and whether that color choice is love-it-or-hate-it will depend entirely on the buyer. What’s clear is that this is not a car meant to quietly disappear at a cruise night. Combined with the maroon interior, it creates a look that’s unapologetically bold and very different from the more common mid-year Corvette color combinations.
The asking price is presented as negotiable, with the seller openly encouraging offers as part of a broader business sale. Flexible purchase options, including layaway and financing referrals, are also mentioned, suggesting the dealer is motivated to move inventory rather than sit on it.
As a whole, this 1965 Corvette Stingray Coupe isn’t being marketed as a numbers-chasing, concours-correct example. Instead, it’s positioned as a fully sorted, eye-catching classic meant for someone who wants the C2 Corvette driving experience paired with a standout appearance. For the right buyer, this could be a conversation-starting weekend car that delivers both performance and personality in equal measure.
Intriguing, but 350HP valve covers? Dealer could spend a little more verbiage describing the car and less about the deals. The price…well…looking for a buyer in a haystack. A PINK haystack…
No mention of the radiused/flaired rear wheel wells adding to the “uniqueness” of this Corvette; maybe a Mary Kay salesperson would be interested in it, LOL!! GLWTA!! :-)
Front and rear wheel wells flared and 63 hood. Who knows what engine and transmission. At minimum it needs repainted (cost around $20k) and that’s without undoing the custom bodywork. Way too much money for a messed up C2 coupe. $70k will get you a pretty nice driver with correct drivetrain and stock appearance. You need to buy this at about $35k to make the numbers work and do a lot of the resto yourself.
This seller/dealer has had his cars featured countless times over the years. His business has and will be for sale until the end of time. It’s more of a junkyard than dealer, the prices are too high, he has 455 items listed with a total of 9 sales over the last 3 months.
You could make a case for this car at a substantial discount. Other than the color, which would always be divisive, it doesn’t appear that the workmanship was shoddy. This was a product of its time, just leave it as it is and drive it, but not at its current asking price.
