just bought the convertible from allrize's earlier post

loaded with options, all still on and working
speed minder + low fuel, power windows, power steering, power antenna, power bucket seat, tilt wheel, wood wheel (in trunk), power top, hazard switch, 3:23 posi, rally I wheels, console and vacume gauges with buckets, and some other smaller stuff like mirror package, floormats, etc....

runs great! (70's smog motor - but dependable)

the guy has had it for 20 years - restored 17 years ago
(the pictures are good to it - its a 20 footer)
new top this year - been sitting in his barn most of the time, beside his house for the last few years
he bought it from his best friend who had it for 10 years
who bought it from the grandma two streets over, who's still alive (trying to get her phone #)

I have been slowly working on it for the last 11 years with some long layoffs over that time. I didn't touch it for a year once as I pulled the motor to put in a new rear main and it leaked (or so I thought, turns out that it was my transmission pan seal and I run Amsoil so they look the same) so I was just plain disgusted with it. I am turning it into a street rod with everything having been taken apart, restored, or replaced. Here is what it looked like aboout 2 years ago. Doesn't look much different today as I decided to chuck the th400/3200 stall and the 10 bolt 65 GTO 3:23 posi in favor of a 2004r and a furd 9" (anyone need a completely rebuilt 10 bolt posi for their 65 GTO? I would prefer to give it to a GTO project instead of the 442 across the street) so that is what I have been working on. I certianly couldn't have gotten this done in 4 months, heck I think it took me 4 months just to convince myself to stop changing my mind and just build it.

I am looking for a posi for my 65. Where are you located?

I am in Chandler AZ, not to up to speed on shipping one of those. Its complete from springs to control arms with all new brakes, bushings, and a completely refreshed posi unit. I pulled it from a rusty 65 I got a number of years back (the 65 was complete and numbers matching but it was rusty so I stripped it. Bet someone would want it now rusty or not). Still has that tag hanging from the pumpkin as well. I did drill 2 holes in the webs for no-hop bars but that can be filled and painted if stock is what you want.
