New guy here

[6T5C2]

Hi, I've been lurking for a while now just trying to soak up as much info as possible. Figured I would introduce myself since 67 heaven asked me to. I'm in NJ and bought a 65 coupe in Jan of this year. It has 67 body panels on it though . Non original car (numbers wise) but has a big block in it. I enjoy just taking a nice drive on the highway every now and then as I slowly start to fix'er up. Been wanting a midyear for at least 10 years. Great site you guys have here!

Well, I'm sure you guys don't make it any easier NOT to want to buy another. I'm satisfied with this one for now.

welcome to the family.....watch out for postings by Barry....he will have you taking the body off the frame before you know...thats what happened to me!!! It was Barry's fault.....

 

[BarryK]

blame yourself Herb, doing the body-off was all YOUR idea. I haven't gotten that far yet although I make no promises on the next project car I find......

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

I will try to check out some of the cruises you are referring to. I might be able to do the Nanuet one one Friday. PM me the details please.


If I can get my car painted for the price Barry got his done for it would go in tomorrow. LOL! I saw your website already and it's a wealth of knowledge Barry. It definitely is my pride and joy. Always wanted a midyear. The coupe body is just a work of art.

67 heaven, the VIN and trim tag say it's a 65 but I know that the panels are 67 look. I don't mind. It's the cleanest look of all the years with the least amount of trim.
