Thanks for posting some pictures, Jim.  Looks even better with Dan's touch.

Next time we're up your way, I'll stop in.

  Almost forgot to ask you to get it in the registry.

The car has some great bones. Loren found it in the Bugle and I bought it after a test drive. Only needed some detailing and TLC to be in really nice shape. Jim drove to Green Bay on Thursday, May 14 to look it over and take a test drive. Needless to say he liked it.

Glad you like the car Jim. Welcome to the 1965 GS owners group !

Thanks guys! We plan to enjoy the car for years to come. I have it in the shop now getting the lights worked on and putting in the new springs and starter. Also trying to decide on some new wheels.  :occasion14:

Looking really good.

What tire combination did you decide on?

Are these wheels S/S or another model?
