You guys have to take a look at this one. It's just flat out gorgeous!
Not mine...
Just popped up on Atlanta's Craigslist.

Looks pretty nice! Just need some prime condition skylark emblems to fill the holes on the fenders and it looks done.
Have to search the second link to find his price of $18,500. I think you would spend that and then some to build it.

I hate to admit this guys as I really do like keeping the lines of car original but I think the 65 was designed intentionally with the cowl induction hood in mind.
I can honestly say that if I ever built a pro touring 65, it would have a 455 and a low profile and very subtile cowl induction hood. If not a 455, I've always dreamt about a turbo on a 401 ever since I seen the nailhead turbo display at the Nationals.
This car is not my total my cup of tea.. but is indeed a very nice car that I'd not be ashamed to own or be seen in. :headbang:

I'm thinking of trying my hand at a shaker hood on the 64.
I love the looks of the lines of the 64 and 65, but I'm a hot rodder at heart!
I will have a spare hood before I try to make a functional shaker. Did I mention that I'm not exactly a pro body man?

Sorry.. this quote from Fast Times at Ridgmont High popped into my head when I read your posting David. :overthetop:
The best way to learn is to try!
