Are those tri power lids I see, or just a reflection?

Looks like a Tri-Power engine to me. 1st Air Cleaner looks to be right size and position on the intake.

I like the bare look, but I'd put on "moon " caps once in awhile.

Lugnut - This is my 65 that I inherited from my dad, who owned it since 1970. I'm upgrading to discs so losing the chrome 14" reverse steels. I'm going with black with dog-dish but not sure I'll like the look when done and might need to spend some $$ to get the look back.

Whatever. That rear bumper is as low as I have seen one in many years.
They must have everything, including the kitchen sink, in that trunk to go along with the stuff on the roof rack.
They needed some air shocks.

Note the Blue Charcoal paint, and the damage to the left side of the rear bumper, which is sans back-up lights. California black plates. Judging by the hairstyle and the other cars, probably a 1970 or earlier photo.

I can confirm that a couple engine blocks, cylinder heads and armasteel cranks will drop the back like that.

Dad said the trailer hitch drug when he hit the little dip coming out of the PMD Engineering garage.
