Picked up this '65 coupe today. Original SoCal car.
Price was too good to let it slip away.
Nassau Blue on Blue.
L-79, 4 speed, 3.70 Posi, Power Windows, Power Steering, Teakwood Steering Wheel
Very complete. A fun project!

It looks like a great starting point for a fantastic finish. What's not to like about a blue on blue L79 4 speed coupe?
Good luck with your project.

Thanks guys.
Basic plan is to put it all back to what it was. But I think I'll add a set of period correct mags or maybe keep these Americans on it. I am tossing the side pipe idea around right now as well.

Nice Car and Project. Does it run and drive at this point or is that part of the repair also?
