Well I'm sure no expert on Mopars, but I received this 1965 convertible from a 70 year old man with heart problems. This is what I call a "Barn Find". He brought it from California with plans to restore it, and fix it up. He has bought some parts for it etc. It has been sitting idle for a year (and maybe more?)I believe he had big plans to restore it, but health issues have gotten in his way. Here is what I can tell you about the car... This Dodge will need whatever sitting idle for that long would dictate. (New battery, fluids clean fuel. etc.) It has not been driven in quite some time.The car has a 440 V-8 with a torqueflite automatic transmission. The engine is hot rodded up a bit, and looks to have all the normal goodies. This would make a neat daily driver or better yet, it might be a car, you could fully restore. It has the factory bucket seats with a console.The trunk has a little rust, but the floors, frame, engine compartment, etc. are excellent. I have a clear and open California title for it as well as all the spare parts he bought for it.(included).I wish I knew more about it, but it's just how it came out of storage, and just as I recieved it. Since it's a 1965 it also might make a neat Hemi-clone car? (just a thought). It reminds me of the famed "Dick landy" 65' Pro-stocker. It is 50 year old and I am selling it as-is. It's a bit of a project, but if your somewhat mechanical, this may be right up your alley?I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in anyway. This car was running and driving when he last parked it into storage. If I do not sell it "as-is", I will get it all serviced and running, and re-list it accordingly. My opening bid is $ 5,500.00 with no reserve. I think that whoever ends up with it will be very pleased. I can't imagine finding a neater, or a more nostalgic big-block / convertible like this for the price. Terms of sale...I can not ship.....
