I have some pics of the vin plate and trim tag from a 65, vin 100011. Car was very rough, but the plate and tag looked new. Don't see any problem with that tag.

Wow. Big block A/C car. I have always thought of the 390 hourse 427 as kind of the bastard step child, but I guess it is the most hp you could get from the factory and still get A/C, right? Very cool car.

Kind of hard to beat that car - black over red guts, big block 4 sp vertN Vette with A/C, sidepipes, and knockoffs. 66 is my favorite year, too.

Good luck with the sale.

-----Not in 66, Tex!!! Although technically, You may be correct as early 66 390s were rated at 400 just as early 425s were rated at 450......Bill S

I really do like this car. The black with the red guts is striking. It has all the cool options too, only missing is the telescopic.

Good luck on the sale.

Looks like the car is sold pending payment. I just wanted to thank Rick for his help with the photos and everyone else for their comments and information. This is the best group of car guys around.
