Re: what about this 65? it's near me

Pad stamp is funky
Replacement copper/brass radiator
Wrong (copper) choke heat tube, intake side tube gone
Has a '67 hood, rear seal cut too short
Seats appear to be leather - TT calls for vinyl

It has access holes in the hood inner panel adjacent to the driver's side hinge; those were only in '66-'67 hoods.

Has wrong inner-fender on the drivers side, so you can bet its had some body work.

Could be a nice diver, if you are looking for the R D, run away, run away.

Re: what about this 65? it's near me

looking for the RD ?

well if it's only going to be a driver I'm certainly not paying 54k for it.

how can you tell it has the wrong inner fender?

also john I don't see the holes you're talking about aer you talking about those big areas where you can reach your hand back behind the bolts?

Re: what about this 65? it's near me

No big deal but it also has the wrong P/S cap on it.

Re: what about this 65? it's near me

The instrument cluster and the steering column could use some work (general condition).

Hi Brandon
Brian has just identified the tip of the iceberg. Even if the pad and tags were not of conern, thousands of dollars and/or a lot of work could be spent just under the hood to make that area presentable for judging. At a glance there are more than a dozen parts, finishes and configuration issues that would need to be addressed first. Since the pad photo of the assembly stamp is cut-off before the suffix, no way to know what this engine is supposed to be. A possible clue, is the Wrapped Temp Sending Unit wire that exits the firewall and runs along the valve cover on the drivers side and crossing over to the sending unit on the passenger side in front of the carb, indicating this may have started life as a base engine, 350's ran along the valve cover on the passenger side, could just be the orientation.

Is the tach correct for 350hp car? I thought it had the higher red line.....

The LH inner-fender has a raised pad on it. No 63-65s had this pad. It is a replacement of some kind.

Re: what about this 65? it's near me

You saying I might should look into it that I might be able to get it a good bit cheaper than that asking price?

I can fix a lot of what has been told is wrong with it without much trouble
