I built a 65 like that for my daughter when she was in high school. Loved that car.

From the pictures it sure seems to be a clean car. Hard to tell how much work it has had on it though.....

It sits very well, low mileage. Those old 390s were indestructible. Wonder if it has the 4 barrel.

I am tired of this stupid weather, i dont know how you northern guys do it.. The truck is nasty, suspension is covered in ice, front end is rattling like something is about to fall off the truck (only does it when its covered in ice) , crap fuel mileage.

Suppose to be cold until Tuesday then up to 77 and back down to the 20s weds with more snow and ice

We drink a lot.


But no, cold weather and snow doesn't bother me. Don't know why it doesn't, it just doesn't. Heat and humidity on the other hand I can't stand.

That being said, I'd love to see the two-tone scheme make a comeback where the upper and lower body was painted one color, and the center body was painted another. This '90's era F-150 is a good example of what I mean:

idk, think a slightly different color can work too. I've considered tan though.

I do like the old 3 stripe 2 tones, but a lot of newer trucks just cant pull them off like the old ones could
