This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is being sold for its owner on consignment (flat fee, not a percentage) by John Haigler at Haigler Motors, 13190 Hwy 155 South, Tyler, TX 75703. The current owner bought the car in 2019 (about the time the car was restored) for his wife’s birthday while they attended Cruisin’ the Coast. The car has been upgraded with a factory GM crated ZZ4 engine, 680 cfm Quick Fuel carb, MSD distributor and box, and a fresh 2024 AMG battery. In 2020, Vintage Air was added along with a large tube Dewitte aluminum radiator, new upholstery (seat covers, foam, carpet and sunvisor), Sony audio (hidden inside the glovebox) with Pioneer speakers. In 2021, Headman headers (hi-temp ceramic coated) were installed. During 2022, factory GM Delco front calipers were added. Borgeson quick radius power steering was installed. In 2025, Diamond back Goldline Pro Touring tires were mounted. During 2026, power disc brakes with dual master cylinder were installed. I’ve driven the car and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ride (starts readily, idles smoothly, shifts positively, and no rattles!). Equipment includes:
*350 cu in/355 HP V8 engine
*5 speed manual transmission
*Cold Vintage Air
*Sony audio (AM/FM/CD/Sirius XM/USB port
*Recently mounted Diamond back Goldline Pro Touring tires
* Borgeson quick radius power steering
*White convertible top
*Knockoffs (upgraded with hidden lugnuts)
*Side pipe exhaust (pleasant exhaust note, not obnoxiously loud)
*Original color: Marlboro Red
*Analog clock (still functional!)
*160 mph speedometer
*7,000 rpm tach
*Flip-up headlamps (fully operational)
*Center console armrest added
*Clean windshield (no cracks or stars)
*Always stored indoors (never driven in rain)
Offered by John Haigler at Haigler Motors, Inc., 13192 Hwy. 155 South, Tyler, TX 75703. Please message before coming out since I don’t keep regular hours (generally here Tuesday thru Sunday 8am-5pm). You’re welcome to call or text 24/7, whenever convenient for you. Should you need financing, please arrange through your bank/credit union as I am unable to provide in-house financing. If you currently do not have a banking relationship, you may check with Altra Federal Credit Union here in Tyler. You’re welcome to also check out United Heritage Credit Union in Tyler. They both offer great rates and terms! Thanks for your consideration.
Also, if you need assistance in selling your vehicle, I offer a consignment service on a flat fee basis (no sale, no fee charged). Quite a few of my customers utilize the service for the following reasons:
1. Avoid having to deal with countless phone calls, texts, or emails from the public
2. Title paperwork is handled by a licensed Texas Motor Vehicle dealer (especially when a lien is in effect on your vehicle or the buyer needs financing)
3. Making certain that you are paid the correct amount in a timely manner (there are a multitude of scams in the marketplace which can be difficult to detect)
4. Advertising – handled for you in a manner that draws maximum number of interested parties
5. Test drives are always accompanied, never alone (copy of driver’s license and insurance is required). Personal safety can be an issue when test driving with an unknown person. Interested persons are instructed on how to make the test drive without damaging your vehicle (e. g. no jack rabbit starts, no high speed, no rapid acceleration before the engine warms up, no test drives for “under 18 years”, etc)
6. Professional presentation (objections handled) of your vehicle to show its best traits
7. Time savings for the seller – I’m available to show your vehicle by appointment 7 days a week, saving you the time
