65 427
Hello,
My name is Spencer and I just joined the site I am in the process of buying my fathers 65 coupe from my mother, my father who has just passed away owned the car for 40 years. It has been in a garage for 38 of those years, the has been in the family longer than me and I don't know much about it ( I have always been a 2nd gen Trans Am guy) the little info I have right now is there is a badge on the dash that says it is a 427 with 425 hp 4 speed, it is dark green with tan interior 31,305 original miles and is 100% original from what my mother can remember the vin is 194375G115253 if anyone could give me info from the vin or have any info o where to find the motor codes so I can verify that would be great, thanks for the help and I can't wait to make some new friends.
