well I dunno fer sure....but me thinx that 'blue' engine color is incorrect..YES? :Smarty: WHY go thru all that nice restoration and paint the engine wrong...engine compartment looks nice but that blue engine, blue alt bracket and blue washer bottle bracket really sticks out...or maybe is it just anal me? o No: ou: Wheelz, Tampa Bay

 

Has wrong air cleaner as well . Guy sold that car as is for 11 k to guy trying to sale it now . He told me had some bondo and pitting to chrome and motor was just repainted not rebuilt . Just a heads up might be great car but you'd need to see in person :TU:

 

the steering wheel in the picture is upside down, probably because the top of steering wheel is cracked.

 

Wheelz, that looks an awful lot like Chrysler blue from the late 60's and early 70's.

Did anyone notice that the dash appears to be from a convertible, as it has the accessory switch? Or am I just blowing wind from my Khyber Pass?

might have rear defrost.

Was that even an option in 65??o No:

Edit: I just double checked the 65 order sheet, and yes, rear defrost was an option in 65. I would suspect that it would be rather rare though.

 

no, more like a much less sinister reason: because the front wheels are turned

 

Good Vone.

 

glass is half empty aye?

 

OH NO, JOE SAW IT!!! Mark it sold:laugh: :laugh: :grin:
