Picked up this little '65 coupe today.
Numbers matching 350 HP 327, 4 speed, 3.70 Posi
Nassau Blue on Blue.
Original SoCal car been off the road since 1981
A great project, complete and the price was too good to pass up!

Looks like a great foundation to start on, 65 coupes are one of my favorite C2s. Thanks for posting, looking forward to seeing the progression, Mark

Greg if you don't mind...a C2 will most likely be up next after my 75. What did you pay for this? Is the engine and transmission in the car?

Sweet, I see you also have a Sun Machine. I had a 1155 that looks similar to yours.

Having owned and restored (frame off) two 65's your body is very straight, nice find.

Yes, Mr. D, it's a 1015. It was listed on craigslist Free section by a local shop. Just collecting dust there. Works great and it's perfect all my old junk!

Nice looking short bed parked next to the 65.
I started restoring an 82 4X4 a few years ago.
My son needed a truck so I gave it up to him and he is finishing it as a daily driver.
350. 700R4, 373's, His is coming along nicely.
