As I recall we had a long, thorough discussion of this car when it came up several months ago. No idea how to search for it though.Proud NON-CASO

Well there you go! "It is one of only 10 or 15 equipped as it is, WITH Drum Brakes!"
That and the Non-package, make it more valuable, anyone knows that!

I used to play pinochle with a fellow whose philosophy was "You never know what you can get away with until you try." I won't fault this fellow for trying. It has been my experience that something being rare or uncommon does not always correlate to it being more valuable. It's just like finding a Chevelle Super Sport 396 with a 3 speed manual transmission. They made damn few of them, and for good reason. Finding one today would not make it more valuable than a 4 speed car, in fact just the opposite. I guess he will find out one way or the other.Pat Dilling

John,
My first instinct was to jump on this thread because it was a '65 GT!
My second instinct is to avoid any car that costs more than the value of my house.Brad Johnson,

Last time this car surfaced the guy had an infomercial about it on the 'net somewhere. It was a bit over the top, even had his father playing a role. As I recall it was mostly about him and his business, then about the car.
It seems at the time I got the feeling he grossly overpaid for the car and was going all out trying to recoup, as opposed to trying to make a huge profit. Don't recall exactly what gave me that feeling.Proud NON-CASO
