'65 Convertible
This car had been in dry storage since 1985 with most of the front end removed after having the brakes go out and rear ended another car. It was an extremely solid car with NO rust and only 40-some thousand original miles on the odometer (see picture). Set a battery in it, turned the key and everything in the car worked like new - the original AM radio came on and the top power worked like new. We replaced the front fender aprons and core support along with all front sheet metal with original parts from a donor car. It was a 289-2v automatic with power top, power steering and manual brakes. The motor even had the original plugs and fuel filter on it when I got it. Originally light green with white pony interior, we shot it Rangoon Red with a completely new two-tone red and white pony interior. A new convertible top, window and boot cover finished it off. All exterior chrome and trim were replaced, even though the low miles left most of it in great shape. The wiring and such in the car has been untouched and was in perfect original condition as it had left the factory. What a find!!
