The car is here! I've got a temporary license plate on until the seller sends me the title (had to release a lien on it). Took it out for a cruise tonight, and I'm not sure when the smile is going to leave my face!
I'll try to get some pictures up soon.
As I mentioned, I had Stewart Transport deliver the car. Generally speaking, I was pleased with their service. However, in transit they somehow scratched up the front passenger side fender, next to the headlight. They're being very up front about it, and are telling me to just have it fixed and they will cut me a check to pay for it. So, now I have to find a good body shop around town that can handle repainting a custom, pearl paint job. Anyone have any good contacts in Round Rock/Austin? If I haven't heard anything from this I'll create a new thread on it. I don't want to leave it in just anybody's hands, you know?
Ed,
I plan on heading over there this week to get it inspected. As far as registering it as a 1965, I'll give it my best shot, but they were pretty adamant about it having to be registered as the year that it was assembled. Plus, the Maryland title says the same thing (2001 assembled car), so I'm not holding out hope.
Thanks,
Darren
