Thumbs up 65 and 66 carport find

A friend of mine told me about a 65 gto for sale so I called and made arrangements to meet him. As I walked up to the back of the house I saw several metal car ports with cars covered and a shop with a few storage sheds and junk everywhere... a true Georgia compound! The gentleman who owned explained health problems and wanted to do some pile culling. first he showed a 66 ventura missing a seat, fender and door/hood hinges. then a 65 gto missing front clip. My buddy haggled with him and got him to 1500 with a 65 original 3 deuce manifold..I paid the man and said i would be back Saturday. I rolled up with some tires and a rollback started loading cars. suddenly the guy starts pointing at buildings and we get all the hoods, fenders,interior parts, grills,bumpers...well EVERYTHING! and some extra hoods and fenders! Best buy I have ever made,, Then to top it off he calls me a week later and I pickup another truckload of parts...

Now that's a lucky find.

Does he have a flywheel for a 389/400 4 speed to sell? I need a good one if he does.

That's great. I'll have to check with the one here tomorrow. The one in NY is 125.00 used and out of a 68 GTO.

Got the flywheel from NY yesterday. Out of a 68 400 GTO. Looks great. Just a few inconsequential marks on it so it gonna work great. They buff out. LOL
Got it from:
Kubis Autos Part in Auburn, NY.
