Rick I was curious about that too. Doesn't the fuel injection air filter go there? Would the inner fender be pre punched and the bracket affixed even if the car was not a fuel car?
Thank you. A fact that I did not know.
Out of curiosity, what is the general rule for body sequence # vs VIN #
I don't think there is a "general rule". The body sequence numbers are separate for coupes and convertibles. There will be duplicate numbers throughout the sequence until the last body of either is produced.

HI All,
Good morning. Just another day in Paradise. Just traded for this matching numbers 1961 Corvette. Puts a C1 and a C8 in the garage. I am sure I will need some help with this one. Have a great day.

I have no idea what the reinforcement bracket for the '65 FI air cleaner looks like but take a look at a page out of the '65 AIM and see what you think. It references dimples that are on all '65 inner fenders where you drill the two holes for the reinforcement bracket #2 on the page.
Welcome. Very nice car welcome - looks pretty much done. There are several Mopar guys here including me. Even one guy who managed to find a Corvette with a first generation Hemi squeezed in it. And even a few Ford guys. They are all good.

Leif I agree that it looks very similar and in the correct location. This however is not a fuel car so therein lies the confusion. I found a reference where factory A/C cars for 65 had the voltage regulator moved to that location so I am trying to determine if that is a bracket that the voltage regulator mounts to. Also the inner fender lip does not look normal to me. Can someone please post a picture of a 65 showing that location of the inner fender with the lip.

Jay,
The three holes to the right of the bracket is where the VR would be attached...see pic below.
Lief your voltage regulator holes seem to be closer to the firewall side and the OP picture seems to show them closer to the radiator side. I still have not be able to 100% confirm what the bracket is there for. Can you post a picture of your inner fender lip so that I can compare it to the OP picture.
