I live in Baton Rouge and recognize the picture location but I've never seen the car. I'll try to check it out and provide some additional information.

I've checked with several vette guys in the area and no one has seen the car. One person was aware the car as being sold although he didn't know the car or the seller. The car is not for sale locally. The funny thing is that there is another 64 from Baton Rouge on e-bay right now and no one knows that car either.

Interesting. The clock is correct and the speedo and tach are not.

How would you document the miles as original if the speedo was changed. I'd love to look at the cluster bezel too. The 1963-1964 bezels are different. The small gauges look correct.

A little education for me please. How did you identify this as a 65 speedo?

I guess it could be a 65-67 speedo? Were they all the same?
