A little background for those who have not read my intro. I am a lifelong die-hard Mopar guy and more specifically 62-65 B-Bodies. I've had several cars over the years, but have been out of the loop having sold my last old Mopar about 8-10 years ago.
I had been looking around for a project car and was really hoping to find a 64 or 65 Plymouth or Dodge (didn't really matter if it was a 2dr sedan or 2dr hardtop).
After a couple months of searching CL & Ebay for a decent project, I found a '65 Belvedere II 2 door hardtop that wasn't too far from home. I was immediately drawn to car because of the straight axle...I really like the gasser look. The seller sent me a crapload of pics of the car and it looked like a very solid car although it would need some sheetmetal replacement (what 60's cars don't these days ?). A deal was made and I was off to Iowa !
