Seven years already
 

Seemed like yesterday that I was fortunate to secure this ‘65 GTO.

The eBay auction was very simple and didn’t offer much in documentation.
Photos were terrible also.

I was impressed with the low miles and Original paint and Factory Powertrain though.

I was able to secure the car and end the auction after talking on the phone with John (Cordelia’s nephew) who was tasked with selling her car.

Site unseen and 3000 miles later ….. WOW.

wow, very nice, all it needs is a set:cool2: of hurst wheels

Great looking GTO and you probably stole it as well. Some people have all the luck!

----Chris,,,What a car! Did you fix the dent?.....Bill S

This lucky '65 found the perfect caretaker, Cordelia would be very pleased.

Hi Bill,

That darn garden hose bracket.

I had the dent massaged out by a “paintless dent removal” guy here in town.

I was apprehensive until the guy shows up in his 1969 El Camino.
We talked about his years of experience in this craft and he informed me that the old automobiles have a thicker metal than the new cars he usually works on and he couldn’t guarantee success.

I said go for it.

The crease was about an 1/8’’ deep.

He had me remove the headlamps as he positioned a heat gun along with a heat lamp to warm the fender.
He then used a long tool from the inside to work out the dent. Amazing.

He was 100% successful. It’s just a scratch in the paint now.

Check out the ‘65 stamped date in the front fender headlamp reinforcement.

----Good dent busters are hard to find. Really good job. Love those wire wheel caps. They fit the character of the car perfectly!....Bill S

I didn't know Christopher Walken's did dent repairs..:grin:

Great car you have there Chris. Nice to see that dent could be worked out so well.
