I've been following the '65 convertibles forever looking for the right one, and while this one is rough, it looks halfway decent and the price is right. I'm thinking it could be the ideal builder if you have a super rusty donor car (and some repop sheetmetal) available.
Although the seller claims it originally had a 327/4-sp, I'm leaning toward a 283 car due to the 10-bolt rear.
Originally a maroon-on-black car too....
