1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe â?" Numbers Matching 327, 4-Speed, NCRS Documented Why This Car Is Special The 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe represents the middle year of the C2 generation, and many collectors consider it the sweet spot of the entire second-generation run. By 1965, Chevrolet had worked out the early production issues of the 1963 and 1964 models, and the car benefited from a longer development cycle without yet being overshadowed by the big-block engines that would arrive later in the model year. The 1965 model year also marked the introduction of four-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment â?" a significant engineering step that replaced the drum setup used on earlier C2s and gave the car stopping power that matched its performance potential.
