Consulted with a few knowledgeable buddies and concluded that the rarity of the 365hp - A/C combo (around 280 built in '65) made it an equally good investment and easier to live with as a driver.
I think you're on the road to recovery. It looks like you really found a terrific alternative to the '63.

And rare!



But seriously, even if someone HAS experienced a "horror story" such as you describe, would he or she be doing you any favor by telling it here?

To the OP: Smile when you think of the old one and have a great time with your "new" one!
