Brought home a 65 Belvedere 1 project today

[Larry Hensley]

I had a 65 Belvedere in my yard for the last 10 years.Work got in the way and I sold it last year.I've been looking all over for another one.Last week a friend of mine told me about a guy that races Mopars and might have a rear end I was needing for a 64 Polara.When I got there ,I found out a good friend of mine drives his race car and we hit it off.
He told me he was given 6 months to live and is selling all his Mopar stuff.
While we were talking I wandered around back and heres this 65 Bel1 sitting on stands.I ask if it was for sale and he told me the price.I bought it on the spot.This was 20 minutes from my house.It also comes with a 4 door parts car that I havent seen yet.
So i'm thinking of selling a too far gone for me 64 Polara project and putting the 383 I have for it and using what parts I can that I have and using the parts car for the same needs.
The frame rails are tied,widened stock inner fenders,and a 9 inch Ford rear with leafs.
Thats about it for the moment.I'm trying to get hooked up with the 4 door and get it home and start the list of wants
