Default Project 65 BB ?

Can someone do a link. Check out this 65 BB coupe on ebay. It's already at $20k and reserve not met. #260122815084. Looks like a very expensive project. The water line on the seats and the rust in the windshield trim tell the story. Plus NOM. Crazy.

Default Interesting radiator

When you look at a shot of the radiator, it's for a small block. Wonder if when he took the motor out was it originally a small block?

In 65 they where small block radiators. Looks like a fun car to start with. It's not worth much more than where it is now.

No. The 65 BB used an all aluminum radiator that was larger than the small block. Alot of people think they are the same because it also used an expansion tank, unique to 65 bb and the 67 L88's. It is the correct fan shroud. Look at the right side of the shroud and radiator. The radiator does not completely fill the space behind the shroud. Small block radiator, big block shroud. Good hint that it was originally a BB. It also has the washer bag and fender well battery access panel unique to the small block A/C cars and the 65 BB.

It has all the "right stuff" that says I really am a BB..... No signs of A/C therefore Watson it looks like one of the approximately 2,000 65 BB Vettes ever made....
