new in St Augustine
Just bought a 65 convertible from a very good and long time friend. He can't care for it anymore so I will. 327/300 4 speed. Hoping for direction as to good sources for parts. Car is complete and actually looks pretty good, but it's been idle for 21 years so it'll take some doing to wake it up again.
Thanks
BF

Unfortunately, things have gone a little backwards. Luckily no damage to the car. Caught the wheel bearings before they failed.
