1965 Corvette
This was the last year for
fuel injection in Corvettes until the throttle body injection in 1982. Dramatic news was the mid year
introduction of the "Big Block" a 396ci, 425hp engine with a special hood. Four wheel disc brakes were also introduced in 1965. The
Mako Shark II, a pilot car for what would be the 1968 model, made its first appearance at
the New York International Auto Show.
