This is possibly one of the most solid 65's you'll find.The body is Extremely Solid and had very little rust anywhere. The pictures linked in the bottom of the ad show the absolute best and worst parts of the car and are representative of the car's current condition.
This listing has pictures from what the car looked like right before disassembly and of the vehicle's current state.
This car was sitting in dry storage from 1989 until I bought it in 2014, four years ago and has remained inside the entire time I've owned it. That's 29 years in DRY STORAGE.
The car does not run and drive and is not together despite being compete. The front end is on for Mock up purposes Only. It is just sitting in place.
It's been painstakingly disassembled, documented and organized from original condition to current condition. All of the bolts and hardware have been individually bagged and labelled. The only modification that was done to the car (that I know of) was the addition of a factory power brake booster installed by one of the previous owners.
The car was disassembled down to bare body and media blasted from the rockers up. It was then acid etched and sealed with epoxy primer to prevent further deterioration. During the blasting process special attention was paid to maintain as much of the original paint on the car as possible. You'll notice that the inner upper quarter sections and underside of the hood and trunk lid have not been blasted in order to keep the original paint intact. It has been in this state for the least two years. The body has not had any metal work done at all or even been removed from the frame. The pictures are as accurate as it is possible to show through pictures. SERIOUS buyers are more than welcome to set up an appointment and come look in person.
My original plan was to replace the front fenders so they were not stripped to bare metal, but instead the OEM fenders were just dusted and primed. The front fenders have at some point in time had work done, the extent of which is not known. The trunk pan is in need of some patching and there are a couple spots in the windshield channels as well. Otherwise the car has been remarkably well preserved.
I have over 300 pictures of this car including specific pictures of every piece of the tear down and blast process.
Car will come with 4 Rally One wheels (Three believed to be originals and one aftermarket. They currently have Redline tires mounted on them. All of the center caps are aftermarket). Might also sell without the wheels.
For detailed pictures of anything specific, please look through all of the pictures and if you can't find what you're after, just ask. Bid to win and Bring this Beauty back to life.
