Nice ’65… my favorite year for this body style. Love that it has crank windows, sad it has no A/C. I had the Q-code ’66 with every option and it rode like a dream. I always thought it was like driving a heavy brick with a marshmallow float. Unfortunately, mine was a money pit. The A/C, power windows and relays/hydraulics that ran the top were the main nightmares. GLWTA
