Hi all,
I have an early 65 or 64 1/2 depending on if your a purest or not. My dad was the original owner and gave it to me in 1980. Its been garaged stored for almost 20 years and I just gave it to my son on his 18th. Although I've been through the car many times, I realize I don't know everything. We started her up and are getting her road ready for him. We're rewiring, adding disc's and replacing all the lines, and rebuilding the 4 speed. She had been modified during my misspent youth, and now I understand why my father worried so much. Paybacks I guess.

Regards,
Frank

Look at the radiator support in front of the battery ,if it has louvers it is a 64 1/2 .A 65 does not have the louvers ,it has slots in the radiator support ..
