I'm sure, I think your being facetious. don't you guys have a bunch of nice cars?

Not at all. You've come up with a really nice example of one of my all time favorites. Had a black one many years back and sold it. Believe it's over your way somewhere now. Always wished I'd kept it.

That’s very awesome! Great, we’ll preserved, survivor ‘65.

Same color interior as my 65 wagon.

Just borrowed your photo of the firewall for reference too.

Fantastic! Love those early Bs. 383 3 speed!

A little while ago there was a discussion about the heat shield behind the passenger exhaust manifold. I see this car has it. Another good reference.

This car also has the original mufflers

 

[Nate S]

Wow. Factory mufflers! What a find! Mine was very stock but this is dead-stock. Super reference material.

Thanks everyone, perhaps a week or two before my head returns to its normal size, gone are the rear snow tires and front white mud flaps.

Just an absolute time capsule!
What was the story on why it sat for so long?

 

[khryslerkid]

I'm looking for some rust, don't see any!

Great find

 

[ckessel]

Man, thats the ultimate in anti theft with the 3 on the tree! Nice score!

Thanks, I moved up to Chilton, Wi 3 years ago. I forgot to chg my screen address, Say hi to Bob N, John G, Manny and the gang

Will do! I bet you are glad you moved seeing what Kenosha is dealing with!

 

[GOLDMYN]

oh yeah, miss a couple of the bakeries and of course the car guys, but I was ready to get out of town 50 years ago but had kids to raise(ex-wife). Most of the exercise I get is waving to people I don't know.

I understand he was a coal miner and after retirement he suffered extreme depression, his family would tell him to take it out but he insisted on it sitting in the garage. He refused to let any of his 3 sons to drive it, he passed away last year from cancer

Mercy. How sad...

Got to be a rare car!

239 built with a 383-4. Interesting that there are no 3 speeds listed. Just auto's and 4 speeds. That is a awesome find!
