Did you just fall off the turnip truck buddy? Our dollar is pretty close to par, within 7 cents. $65000 is a little rich.

"...almost completely original...."
383 stroker
frame epoxy coated
Steeroids rake and pinion
painted gas tank
Holley carb
new aftermarket stereo

The rake and pinion does it for me.

I know this fellow that has a custom convertible "project" that I liked,

A runner, the engine is overbuilt for a good street car, no interior, little or no wiring,
No tops that I recall, no paint, needs prep and paint, but he did paint the frame, lots of work to do,

I asked how much you want for it, I knew this fellow lives in his own dreamland where what is his is gold and what is ours is junk, I knew he would want way past going rate, so I am expecting to hear, 15-18K

Without missing a beat he said 32K "AS IS"

Some people are dreaming some are hoping for that one fool,

That much??? Once you decided on what year you want it to be, you will have to throw away 3/4 of the parts from the wrong year!
