Hi, Here's some pics
of my dad's and my 65 sedan delivery. We picked it up from a friend of his who
had owned it since the late 60's. It's a California car (no rust anywhere) with a
factory 289. It had been sitting in a field since '76. Our first step was to
take all the 70's custom parts off (side pipes, moon wheels, shag
carpet,tuck and roll...).
The engine supposedly
ran when parked but is being freshened up and getting a
list of hipo parts. The car was stripped of all parts and down to its original color
(silvery blue). It's currently being repainted in House of Kolors Shimrin Tangelo
(bright orange). Rather than rebuilding to orig. specs, we decided to go alittle
more custom. it will be lowered a couple inches with american racing torque thrust
wheels. I'll send more pics when available.
Here's an updated photo that Mike provided to us in December, 2001. The color looks great! Please keep us informed on your progress.
Thanks for contacting us with photos of your great find! We look forward to receiving more photos.
