Part of the Joe Verrillo Tanker Collection
This 1965 Corvette Tanker was sold new at Newt Godfree Chevrolet of San Antonio, Texas. Finished in elegant Nassau Blue with a white leather interior, this car presents a striking and luxurious look.
What makes this Tanker particularly unique is the Disc Brake Delete option, which replaced the newly standard disc brakes for 1965 with the drum brakes of the previous model year.
This Tanker was also ordered with the following options:
L75 327/300 HP engine

It is said that two types of people typically ordered the N03 36-gallon fuel tank: the first were those looking to take the car directly from the dealership floor to the racetrack to compete in endurance racing; the second were traveling businessmen and women who wanted to look stylish while covering long distances without frequent fuel stops. We believe this Tanker was ordered by the latter.
With factory air conditioning, leather interior, teakwood steering wheel, power brakes, and power steering, this Corvette is one of the most elegantly optioned Tankers produced.
This Corvette was once part of the K.D. James Collection. K.D. was a well-known Corvette collector with a particular interest in N03 Big Tank carshe would chase them down across the country. Eventually, the Corvette ended up in the garage of Bob Gregory, a renowned Corvette restorer who often completed restorations for top collectors.
When K.D. expressed interest in selling the car in the early 2000s, Bob contacted his friend Bruce Smith, who already owned a 1966 Red L79 N14 N03 Tanker and had a strong interest in Big Tank Corvettes. Bruce purchased the car in 2004 and undertook a complete, comprehensive restoration, working alongside his brother Scott Smith, Bob Gregory, and Dick Ferrando of D&A Corvette.
Dick, a highly experienced Corvette restorer and painter, refinished this Corvette in lacquera process that few modern painters can still execute to the level of excellence seen here.
After completion, Bruce entered the Tanker into the national Corvette judging circuit, where it earned numerous awards. Eventually, Bruce sold the car to Joe Verrillo of Verrillo Motor Car Co. in Clifton Park, NY.
Joe continued the legacy by entering the car into further judging events, earning the prestigious NCRS Top Flight Award, Bloomington OEM Gold, and most recently, a MCACN Gold Spinner and Triple Diamond Award.

All dreams start with passion, and for Joe Verrillo, his passion has always been Corvettes and GM muscle cars. At age 17, he started a tiny shop called Classic Auto Sales and Service with just a handful of cars. The company quickly took off due to Joe’s persistence, hard work, and love of the great American muscle car, and was subsequently renamed Prestige Motor Car.
The Prestige name carried forward for nearly 40 years, and in 2019, the company was renamed Verrillo Motor Car in honor of its founder.
Today, more than 45 years later, Verrillo Motor Car Company is a leader in Corvette, specialty, and highline cars. With nearly a dozen employees, VMCC is carefully creating, caretaking and curating some of the finest C1, C2 and C3 Corvettes in the world, as well as buying, trading and selling very select, high-quality late model Corvettes and specialty cars. All vehicles are thoroughly inspected and serviced by the VMCC team of technicians. Verrillo Motor Car also offers service, detailing, reconditioning, award winning frame-off restorations, custom restomods, world-wide transportation, and creative financing and extended service options.
In recent years, Verrillo Motor Car has added consignment and brokerage services as well, creating new world-class sales and buying options for their customers.
Through the years, VMCC has had a number of their meticulously crafted Corvettes featured in national publications including Corvette Magazine, Super Chevy Magazine, Hemmings Motor News, Hemmings Muscle Machine, and ‘Vette Magazine.
Verrillo Motor Car is proud to be a founding member of the National Corvette Museum, an active and multi-award winning participant in the National Corvette Restorer’s Society and Bloomington Gold, and sponsor of such great organizations as The Saratoga Auto Museum and CAPTAIN Community Human Services.
