    I think we've seen this one before because I've seen that fresh-painted engine before. Do you think it's worth the $12+K they're asking?

    It's a clean car has rust in tailgate but he has another . Repainted years ago and some bubbles under paint , ruins etc . Nice 10 footer or driver . Engine was completely rebuilt and he did clutch around same time . No power steering or brakes but a factory AC car ? AC stuff is off but he has . I'm looking for one of these but I think it's a 8 k car tops as is and I wouldn't pay that . I hate three on the tree shift like crap on this plus with no power steering feels like a boat for a body wagon . I'd put 4-5 k into and have a 11 k car because I'd put a 200 R overdrive , power steering and redo AC . Sport Wagon in better condition wouldn't bring 12 k .

    Good to know. Since 3-on-the-tree is now an obsolete design, finding parts is a search for Unobtainium. Would '65 still have the round bellhousing?
