Yep, agreed. The FM-band-version of the RediRad is the best choice for this radio is what I was getting at.

Congrats! That is one heck of a lot of automobile for the money. And high quality, too. These cars have the best interiors and a killer comfortable ride. Well done.

Will have some more photos in the next couple of days. Was told the interior is real nice.
Back in the day - One of my uncles had two (@ the same time) '65 Bonneville convertibles in Teal Turquoise paint & gut w lighter green rag-top...and a Burgundy In & Out '62 GP...

Here are a few more pictures. You can see the cracked dash pad. The back seat doesnt look like its been sat in. Package tray looks perfect. No signs of water intrusion. Good shot of the rear window defroster. Looks like the air filter inlet has been cut off to clear the A/C compressor. Usually a steering wheel wrap is put on due to the summer heat here in Az. Lots cooler on the pinkeys while driving. Car looks bone stock except for the CB & A/C. Cant wait for it to arrive!!

Based on LH valve cover… I wonder if it was originally an AIR car?

Dead,,,,You mean as a California emissions AIR car?? I have no idea. Was told it spent its entire life in Sierra Vista Az. Dont have any more history on the car yet. Was told there is a full paperwork folder that comes with the car, to include any & all work performed on it in the last 49 years.

The waiting is killing me!

When you take the cover off the steering wheel... Hopefully the steering wheel doesn't fall apart.

I can imagine it is driving you nuts waiting.

Yes, that is what I was wondering. Was it built in CA? If so, might just have the valve cover w/plug and not have had pump etc. if sold to different state. Or… take-off when A/C put in?

I thought 1966 was the first year for Calif smog pump.
This GP is a '65, if I'm not mistaken.

Wink Can you find the '65 GP on this cover?
Keith: I found this on one of my storage hard drives.
I thought you'd enjoy it and want to add to your files in case you did not already have it!
