65 Belvedeer 11 that just followed me home

[sixtiesmuscle]

Well,
I am never one to just drive what I have, I have to be working on something !!
This is my latest project. A survivor 65' one owner. Always garaged, Well maintained by Grandpa, Unmolested by the Grandson who inherited it. he decided to sell, so I bought !!
White with Teal interior..... 273 2 bbl. Torqflight, 8 3/4 Sure Grip rear ( original Bill of Sale and Protecto plate in the glove Box with Manual and service records ) There is an red OK Stamp on top of the inner fender... never seen that before ?? Looks Factory...
104,000 miles, engine rebuilt at 90,000 according to sticker on Inner fender. Oddly, Oil Pan and Valve covers were painted " Blue" at that time. Motor should have been Red.....
Plans for now, are to get it running. I'll put some Magnum 500's on and just clean and detail everything...I'll Clean and paint the 14 " steelies, maybe put whitewall tires when I want to go original. Has tiny Surface rust on lower quarters, and two quarter size holes on the bottom of the drop downs that need repair on the passenger side...

That is a nice car. It looks a LOT shorter than 65 feet long though.

You should probably buy a lottery ticket since you are on a "lucky" streak!

Nice one.
I always recommend changing the master cylinder to a 67-up style dual chamber.

 

[retractable]

Nice find. Enjoy it.

 

[khryslerkid]

I believe I saw it on Facebook. Did you drive there to buy it? Looks really nice

 

[Runcharger]

WowL What a sweetie. Get that engine painted right away!

The 65 Belvedere II that I'm working on has the same stamping. I bought it from the son of the original owner and has about 60,000 original miles. I'm partial to 65's since I bought a new one in 65. It was a 383 4 speed car.
