Greetings! I have recently purchased a 1965 2+2 convertible, along with an unbelievable parts car. The package can be sold "as-is" or as a finished car. First the 2+2: 1965, delivered to Alabama new and remained there until three years ago. LOADED. 338 horse 421, Turbo 400 trans, factory air COMFROTRON (super rare in any fullsized Pontiac), PS, PB, P seat, P trunk, P antenna, reverb, rear seat speaker, buckets & console. Car has been PHS'd and has SPEC for the paint code. The car is currently painted 1965 yucky teal color with black interior & top. The interior is driver quaility. In removing original weatherstrip to see the base color, I discovered the car to be ORANGE! Hiway Dept. truck ORANGE! The color was not specified on the build sheet. The original 421 is long gone and a smoking 389 makes the car a somewhat driver. However, a DONE 376 horse 65 421 engine (YK) comes with the car. The carbs for the 3-2 setup have been dyed correctly. The car has some bondo in the rear quarters, but does not seem to have any rust. The trunk floor is good. The pot metal chrome trim is pitted. The person I got the car from had purchased a 1965 Catalina convertible parts car that had been wrecked in 1966 with just 1,700 miles on the speedo! The car had been stored inside here in Minnesota for 30+ years! It is unbelievable! The car should have been fixed, but wasn't. (maybe it should be fixed?) The front end, engine-trans, dash pad & left door are long gone. The right front floor is rusted from incorrect outside storage however the rest of the car is MINT, including the complete set of 8 bolt wheels on original basis tires! Of course, the trick here is to remove the quarters & 8 bolts and install on the 2+2. The trunk floor is already promised to my 66 2+2 convertible, so it will not go with the car. Other parts that come with the package are as follows: correct 1965 tach and rally gauge dash, a pair of rust free ARIZONA doors and front fenders (just in case!) and some NOS trim. I bought the package to either resell or do and then resell. I am not a fan of 65's, just 64's and 66's. This car is beyond rare and deserves a kick ass restoration. The 2+2 comes with a Minnesota title. The parts car does not have a title. I am open for offers to include cash and/or cool 64 or 66 trades. Cars are located in the Twin Cities area. Photos will be avaialble soon. Please contact Les Kasten at 651-423-7358 evenings CST or email me at killerbob33@aol.com |
