Man you are good! How'd you pick up it's a '65 anyways? (1 out of 5 chance-63-67)
But thanks. it just finished off frame restoration last year.

BTW, the wheels are repro knockoffs from Corvette Central. If this is wrong to put this here, let me know, and I'll remove it.

Coolbeans.....cause I grew up in that era, many a friends had them. Actually a 1 in 4 chance as you can definitly tell it's not the legendary '63 spit rear window Corvette.

Looks absolutely georgous! Now that's a nice project. Original 327 motor? Options? AC? 4-Speed I hope.

And you are definitly not wrong to put this here, it's freak'in car wheels aren't they!

Sweet ass garage also.
Like the checkerboard floor, nice touch. How does it hold up to abuse and floor jacks / stands?

Optioned w/ 4-speed (M-20) $188, Spec Hi-perf engine (L-76) 327 -365 $129.15, Aux hardtop(c-07) $236.75, AM-FM w/power antenna (U-69) $203,
backup lamps (T-86) $10.80 Teakwood steering wheel (N-32) $48.15 , Knockoff wheels (P-48) $322.80
This is off of the original sticker that I have(very worn, though), Since it had knockoffs originally, and they were gone when I got the car, I replaced them
as original. But original Kelsy knockoffs go for $5000, so I got repros. Numbers matching engine and components and everything works.

I was 12 when this car hit the streets in '65, so I grew up with them also.
It was still a great guess, because the '63 also had the convertible version that looks exactly like my convertible from the back. And of course the split window coupe, as you mentioned.

I have to be careful moving my jack around as I have caused a couple small tears in the vinyl. The jack stands cause no damage

Attached is a picture of 19x9.5 Stern ST-1's. The lip is about 2.5-3 inches deep. They will be mounted once the car gets out of the body shop.
