Notice that it has the first version grille emblem. Must have an early build date.

Were different radiator cover stickers used on 65's?
This car has a smaller decal on the finger guard.
The Blue hardtop had a large decal in combo with the AC fan shroud. Pretty sure my 65 has the large sticker too. (no AC)

Just look at that invoice price....$5400!

What is the logo on the rear quarter above the GranSport emblem?  Picture quality is too poor to make it out.  Also, how did they get the invoice on that car up to $5300?  My car has way more options than this one (A/C, power windows), and I don't have the invoice handy, but I seem to remember it was just over $4300.   :dontknow:

I may have mistook the dollar sign for a 5.... Correct amount could be $3992. That sounds more realistic.
Also looks like they traded in their 65 Chevy for this GS. :headbang:

Beware if you are interested in this car that the factory 14" wheels won't fit on it anymore with the aftermarket disc brake setup on it.  Whoever buys it will be stuck with running 15" or larger wheels.   
  Anyone notice the remarkable condition of the steering wheel?!
