Steeriod correct me if i'm wrong but I'm thinking this is a 1964 (with a big block engine) and not a 1965. There's not a whole lot of difference but the side scoops. The 1965 edition had three vertical gills/scoops as opposed to this one that youve posted pics of ! well so much for a debate on what year it is
! But either way fabulous car and it sells for a WHOLE lot of money in the US right now. If you've got one with matching numbers and in a such a good condition like you've posted, we're talking upwards of 100K USD.
Btw here's the difference between difference 1960's corvette's.
BELOW - This is the 1963/1964 Corvette. 2 side scoops
BELOW - 1966 corvette with 3 vertical gills and knock off wheelsand the side exhaust. Basically the original wheel design that looks like the ones in this picture had no wheel nuts/bolts that could be screwed on. It had a JUST ONE BOLT that had to be Hammered in with a heavy mallet that came with the car. So every couple thousand miles or so you'd have to make sure you had hammered those in to make sure they dont fly out when you're driving. Can you guys imagine that. Knock off wheels had the same design only they came with regular screw on bolts. hence the name knock off.

1967 corvette with a big block engine. How do I know its got a big block? Because of the hood (its called the Stinger hood).
Below
And then we have the 1968 corvette (the one that chris tucker drives in rush hour). They're fairly easy to come by here in the US and this generation is way cheaper than the ones above. You could land one in a FANTASTIC condition for 30K.
Just thought I'd add all this in there being a nice Stingray thread.
