65 GS Hardtop in California

Nicely restored in 2006 and reportedly very few miles since then.  Engine was not rebuilt, unoriginal steering wheel, power disc brakes added.  Otherwise, looks like a very nice car, apparently being sold with no reserve.

Also, the description says it has a Quadrajet carb, which wouldn't be original in 65.  But can't tell from the pictures.  Probably an AFB and a typo.

Note that the pictures are dated from 2006 when the restoration was completed.  I think any interested buyer should ask for current pictures!

Based on the Chrome air cleaner I would suggest it does have a Q-Jet. The owner seems like a car guy, there is no mistaking an AFB for the Q-Jet. It is a very nice car.

Very nicely done. Great color combo too!
Note the 11" rear drums. Wonder what they came off of?
I'll bet Mike will be checking this one out.

on 64-67 cars there is no difference in dash pad for A/C vs Non A/C

If anyone is in need of a newly recovered dash pad, I have one available.  PM if interested.
