I think if my math is correct, there are no less than 4 guys that are on PY that own a 65 2d Sedan. Me, you, 2badcat(Jim), and Jerry Hamilton. Personally, I've only physically seen one other in Minnesota, but I've seen at least 6-10 for sale on the net over the last few years. There's also several listed in the POCI directory, as well as many 66-68 2d sedans.
So they are scarce, but not super scarce. Your car color is Teal Turquoise (L). Look at the cowl tag. It should have 2 or 3 letters for paint code. For my car it's KKL. First and second letters designate the upper and lower paint colors. The third letter designates the wheel color. Most cars had 'A' for the last letter, which is Starlight Black...makes sense. My car's wheel color is Teal Turquoise (L), the body color is Reef Turquoise (K). You'd be hard pressed to find a two tone 2 door sedan...doubt they made any. Cheap wheels.
Not a big surprise that you have no outside mirror. It was either a factory or dealer option. So it's likely the original owner didn't want to pay for one.
You didn't say what it had for engine setup. I'm guessing 2bbl with TH 400, 2.42:1 open rear, power steering, manual brakes.
When you get it, take some pics of it before you start ripping it apart. I'd like to see how it compares to mine.
