Default Rust free complete rolling chassis '65



Hopefully I posted these pictures right.
I have a rolling chassis from a '65 convertible for sale. Just came out from the body today. It is rust free, I'm selling to make room for an SR III chassis. The car was a garaged California car from 1969 on. The lower A-arm on the drivers side was damaged (prior owner slid into a curb) and repaired fully functionally, but the welds aren't very pretty. Pictures are shown compared to left stock side. The shop that fit my exhaust welded 4 bolt heads that I could grind off for you. It has a 3.70 posi-rear, and all of the calipers are rebuilt. You can have the old master cylinder (single chamber) if you want.
The non-stock parts on it are:
-SPC upper control arms and Howe tall ball joints. Really sweet positive camber kit. Lowers are still stock.
-Bilstein shocks all around.
-Front and rear sway bars. Not sure of brand, they were on when I bought the car.
-Composite rear spring, with ride height lowering bolts.
-17x7 American Racing wheels 4" offset, with very sticky Yokohama 225-50-17 S-Drive tires. Tires are stock O.D. and there's zero clearance issues, but way more contact patch.

Would really prefer to sell as a complete set up. $5,000 for everything. Would also prefer not to ship, but if shipping is required I'll try to help arrange pickup. I'm in San Jose, Ca.

I'm happy to take and send any close up pictures upon request.

If there's no buyer for the whole set up, I'll part out after they've selected parts.

Thanks,
Rick

This series of pictures hopefully shows the repaired A-arm mount.
Thanks,

I forgot to mention in the prior posts that some Bubba (me) just painted the engine compartment portion of the frame in silver when I put the LS drive train in. Tacky, I know, but you can repaint prett easily.
Also forgot to mention that the chassis has power steering.

Thanks,
Rick

Let me know if you want to separate the wheels and tires. Do you have any pics of the body on? I have 17" chrome FOOSE wheels I would trade.

Here are some pictures of the wheels and tires with the body on. I need to wait before parting things out. Prefer to try to sell everything together first. Since I'm going to the SR III frame I already bought Boze wheels to accommodate the offset required.
Thanks,
Rick

GLWS! Looks like someone will be getting a good deal, I'm going the SRIII route on the '66 once the '58 restomod is done. Love the wheels!!
