Another 65 joins the forum
Last month I solicited input from you here on the value of a friend's 65.

I ended up buying it today. It was a fully functional car when it was put on jack stands a few years ago in order to replace the brakes. Pics of the car as it sits are below. I'll bring it home Sunday. It needs all the new brake bits installed, and of course belts/hoses and fluid changes at this point. Should have it running within a week of getting home. Edit - I should clarify that yes I think it will be running within a week of getting it home but then followed with lots of new this's and that's to address whatever has gone bad while it sat.

Looks like a real nice 65 ya found there. Best of luck with it. A little shielding with that air cleaner would finish that engine off really nice.

Good luck with the 65, I'm sure it will be a beauty.
