Condition:
Very complete, good running engine, driving 1965 Factory GT Fastback car. Previous Owner rebuilt engine shortly
before it was stored. Odometer reads 55, 775 but is most likely 155, 775. Interior is clean with newly repaired and
coated floor pans, all new underlayment, and new ACC 80/20 period correct floor carpet. Front seats appear new
re-upholstered by PO, new front door panels, sill plates, and seat belts. While the paint is complete, it is in poor
condition and will need a repaint after some minor body work. Recent mechanical and floor pan work completed is
listed below.
The car is very near stock with a lot of original components or new stock replacement parts. PO added a few
performance items such as Edelbrock Performer intake manifold with a Holley 4160 4V 600CFM, Hedders, after market
wheels and tires. There are a few smaller areas damaged on the body shown in pictures(Hood and Drivers side rear
quarter), and some very small dings and various paint scratches. Paint and body appear original with no signs of
body repairs or rust that I can find other than some minor paint repair/touch-up and a small 5''x5'' area on the
drivers door bottom front corner that is solid but has had some minor repair. I cleaned all the top surfaces and
polished off the dead paint but paint has deep scratching like coarse sand paper or a brush had been used on it.
Side panels were not sanded and brushed so they look better except for small dings and scrapes. Will need some
minor body work and a repaint. Body and underside is solid. All date stamps on sheet metal appear original and
correct to the build date of the car.
Title is clear in my name, registration paid and current.

I also have the PO's old title that lists VIN 5R09A221983 and an old registration VIN 5R09221983
I've checked all other the points that would show this 1965 car is a factory GT and they all check out.
History:
I purchased this car from the second Owner in 2003. At the time it was being stored at his home in Walnut Creek, Ca
where he lived at the time. I have the smog station paperwork that shows he owned the car at least since January
1968. He never told me who he purchased from but he told me he bought it from the first owner. I believe while he
was living in Watsonville, Ca.
When I purchased the car it had been stored for 7 years and was not started. The owner informed me he had just
rebuilt the motor prior to being stored. I purchased the car and immediately stored it in my garage under cover
until I retired a few years ago. It was to be a restoration project in my retirement but my plans have changed and
I have decided to sell it as it is now.
Work Completed to Car: I decided to get the car running and drivable before I sell. Including repairing the rust
damage to the rear floor pans.
The only changes from stock I found on the car when I started making repairs was the original intake and carb had
been changed out. The PO installed a Edlebrock Performer manifold and Holly 4160 4V 600 cfm carb. The PO also
installed headers ( I believe they are Hedman), Aftermarket wheels and tires. Also the factory radio is long gone.
What I repaired or replaced :
Drained all fluids and replaced( water and coolant, engine oil, power steering, transmission, rear diff.)
Installed an aftermarket air filter and housing
Installed new plugs, plug wires, points condenser, coil
Installed new battery, battery mounting bracket and hold down, regulator, alternator, starter, solenoid, starter
wiring, battery cables, and alternator wiring harness
Installed new hoses and thermostat
Installed new fuel tank filler tube, sending unit, steel lines, hoses, fuel pump. (everything between the original
fuel cap and Holley carb complete)
Installed new front disc brakes (SSBC) including rotors, calipers, and wheel bearings inner and outer with seal.
Stock drums, pads, springs, rear cylinde
