Custom build prototype 1965 C2 Corvette Grand Sport with custom bodyside exhaust pipes and upgraded hood.
As the 1965 model year approached, the design team behind the Chevy Corvette continued to refine the overall design of the
C2
Sting Ray, making only minor cosmetic changes in the process.  Instead, the focus for the second-generation’s third year centralized on some significant mechanical upgrades that would vastly improve the Corvette’s already impressive handling and drivability.
DID YOU KNOW: Starting with the 1964 model year (and lasting thru 1967), some Corvette bodies were supplied by Dow-Smith (located in Ionia, Michigan.) Dow-Smith is a division of the A.0. Smith Company. Also, while it is true that the C2 Corvette did introduce the factory installation of bodyside exhaust pipes, they were not a factory option until 1965.
The most notable change to the outward appearance of the Grand Sport was the change in hood design from the four slot upward angled vents to a two slot front facing set of scoop indentations, which had issues in wet weather which had caused a host of problems at Sebring and other events by allowing water to fall into the engine bay and often the air filters and fuel system. In addition to this change the bodyside exhaust pipes also became a factory option in 1965 adding a noticeable presence to the car.
