65 L78 on the way
It's amazing how things work out, after some trials and tribualtions I landed on a really cool Glen Green coupe. No PS or PB, but it does have PW. The K66 ignition is still there, and it has the N11 exhaust. Certified by CCAS and CVS, POP, warranty book, stamp, tags, transmission etc... Can't wait, it should be here Sunday or Monday. Couple of pics for some reason the site won't load an MP4 file?

Jim - Congrats on picking up a very nice 65 L78. Do post up more pics when you can and tell us more about your new Coupe.
By the way, Gary Cowans and I have been compiling a list of any and all 65 396 Corvettes we come across and so far have 395 out
of the original 2157 made. I wonder if yours is already on our lists. The lists are in two places, an xls spreadsheet over on the NCRS site and
also incorporated into the 1965 listings on the C2Registry.org site.
Good luck with the L78.

Welcome to L78 Corvette ownership. Our cars are few and far between, interesting to talk about, and perform as promised. My old car hobby wouldn't be what it is without mine.

Congratulations. What a beautiful GG 65 Big Block. You should be excited. Of course I'm partial to GG 65'S.
Enjoy it.
