another so cal newbie
Thanks and I was thinking the same thing. I don't know how many original '65's are out there but this one is a great example of a factory car except for the 2 speakers install behind the rear seat. I'll take lots of pictures long the way.
Rick put the Cragars on in '66 and put the original wheels and hubcaps in the Cragar boxes. Hubcaps are almost mint and except for the scratches from the clips the wheels are in amazing shape too. paint looks like new. I was hoping to save the boxes but a family of mice set up housekeeping in one of them and the other barely made it home before falling apart. I did manage to keep the best side of that box and am going to frame it.
I noticed on another A body site that they have measured and saved for future reference the width of the strips down the center. Mine is different than what they have. I didn't know that the stripe was a dealer applied option, that's what it said on the site, but I'll save the measurements for that as well. Someone might be interested?
