Franklin Mint's  most technologically advanced 1:24 scale Vette ever!

All New Tooling!

Just when Corvette® lovers thought things could not get any better, along came the ’65 Sting Ray™. Out were the hood vents of earlier models. In were three functioning front-fender louvers for increased airflow. Gone were the rear drum brakes of previous years, replaced by the smoother, easier four-wheel disc variety.

But the most significant change of all… the introduction of the thoroughly awesome 396 Turbo Jet engine – first of the factory-built Big Blocks to power a Corvette® - equally at home on the track as on the street, to the degree that many who owned one drove their pride-and-joy “a quarter mile at a time!”

Here’s your invitation to join the “Big Block” party by ordering the definitive precision re-creation of the one-and-only Corvette® ever to sport the powerful 396 Turbo Jet Big Block engine. Assembled entirely by hand, this spectacular model matches the original, detail for scorching detail. The “bulge hood,” flip-up headlights and fully appointed interior… every distinctive feature re-created to an unprecedented degree of accuracy by the engineers of Franklin Mint Precision Models. And, of course, there’s the unparalleled re-creation of the Turbo Jet engine under the hood, accurate right down to the air cleaner assembly that can actually be removed to view the carburetor and engine block.

Just like the actual auto, this sensational model features a body of real fiberglass, hand-painted a torrid Rally Red. A must for your Corvette® collection!

In order to re-create the torrid ’65 Vette, Franklin Mint's engineers developed all-new tooling, thereby making it a completely new and individual model unlike any other ever produced. Franklin Mint's most technologically advanced Corvette® model to date, packed with details that place this model in a league all it’s own.
