I have a question about the blue 65 convertible on ebay currently. Is the
car worth that kind of money? I am looking for a nice 65 and I'm not sure
what they go for. Its a blue convertible . I would post a link , but sorry don't know how to do that yet .

IMO, no plus seller is kind of embellishing facts. Seems like a nice enough car in the photos but when people are making stuff up I tend to walk away

Not a real SS car but a fine example of an SS car with all emblems and badges.

...is like saying not a college grad but I bought my diploma online so I'm a fine example of a college grad. :sad:

This car is not an original SS but is a super fine example of an SS car

...or I'm not a college grad but I'm a fine example of a college grad.

Engine Block # is 3782870 which is a 1965 327 corvette engine.

...and it's the same block used in all other 65 Chevrolet applications like Chevelles and passenger cars. :sad:

Head #'s are F05I4HO which is 1965 corvette heads

Heads don't have numbers like this, this is what's probably stamped on the block which does identify it as a Corvette 327/250 engine with Powerglide and brings up a question of does he know where the heads end and the block begins? The engine itself is probably no different that any other 1965 327/250hp engine but I guess saying it's a 'Corvette engine' it goes along with other hype like SS radio or SS bucket seats. I like the 327/300hp decals on the (non-Corvette) valve covers though.

A starting bid of $23,500 might be very, very close to his expected sale price.

He would have done better by just leaving the phony SS badges off.
It's a rather nice 65 convertible. He says it himself it is no race car, just a cruiser.

All of that engine and head numbers stuff means nothing, as was said, it's a typical low HP 327, which is what you want in a car like this.

If it looks as good in person as the pics, and somebody really wants a '65 'vert, I would say it's a $25,000 car. I am sort of basing this on what I have seen on the current Barrett-Jackson show going on Speed Channel.

For not being a real SS it's a little high. I do like its looks, though that may be because it's the same color as my Malibu hard top. Bucket seats would help the looks. IMO

Looks like the car sold. Anyone here buy it? Looks like a cool car to me :yes:

yeah i liked it too, stance is a bit high in front but that's a quick fix. a few years back i saw many 65 Conv malibus and SS at good prices (10k-18k) range. Recently, in the last year, i have seen everything (nice rides) go up in price on ebay, mecum, craiglist etc. Here in Houston on craiglist most 64-72 chevelle hunks/projects are priced way high. Nice cars are appropriately priced but can't believe the prices on projects, its incredible. Good luck , keep searching you will find a decent deal.
