----Forgot to mention that this 65 was actually stolen and recovered. Fuel unit was gone, but a 63 unit was on it. Sold it stripped of paint (never hit) with a lot of parts and it was beautifully restored by a great guy out of Texas. Can't remember his name at the moment....Bill S

Awesome Tim! Congratulations!

The awards don't get more impressive than these. It was good to see your car there and to meet your dad.

It's hard to imagine a 4.11 geared fuelie surviving in this condition. What a great car.

----Tim,,,Along with the blue convert I mentioned earlier, I had a white southern Cali fuelie coupe with Black interior. Very similar condition to your beauty. Even the same yellowed floor mats and 4.11. It had just over 100,000 on the odo and the only real mentionable work was a valve job. At BG one year Chip Miller and Bob Gold took it for a spin, and didn't come back for a half hour, with huge grins on thier faces. They said the N-11 exhaust at around 5,000 RPM was absolutely cool! Since both of these two icons and good friends of mine are no longer with us (RIP) I treasure the memory!....Bill S
