The car looks pretty good in the additional photos. You should get many hours of enjoyment out of your new toy.

Ski:

Very nice. Look forward to seeing it. The '65 is my favorite of the 60's vintage TBirds. I had two of them before I got the '02. I likely have some parts and other info you might be interested in. Good color too. FYI-They made a promo of that color for the
'65 model year.

Skip, you will get your chance. The data plate code "R" indicates the original color was Ivy Green Mettalic. It looks like it was repainted to Vintage Burgundy - my best guess anyway.

At the Highlands show there was a 64 and 66 whose owners were very helpful. I spent a lot of time talking with them. Most helpful was Tom Young. We spoke at the show and on the phone. He knows the car from before the guy I bought it from.
