Welcome to the fray! I'm currently working on a '65 Vista Cruiser, so I know what you're up against - not as easy as a Chevelle but in the end product, more than worth it. Congrats and good luck.

Thanks dude. I am really happy with the car. It gets alot of nods and looks as is. I have found that body parts are a problem, but the aftermarket may see a upswing in these cars soon. I met a guy in AZ who bought one I was going to look at. His reasons for a early Cutlass was simply the same reason that I chose this. It's cheaper than a chevelle the same year, and you can still get many go fast parts. This car was very reasonable and the best reason is it's different.

Nice pick up. Owning a 65 is like sleeping with a fat girl, kinda nice once you try it. I remember this car from ebay, glad someone is going to fix it. I restored one to absolute stock, nothing like restoring a Chevelle or GTO. Im sure youll find that out soon. My next one is going to have modern suspension and a LS series/6 speed with the stock interior and paint.

Here is a board for 65 Cutlass/442 guys, if you havent found it yet.
