The 1965 Z16 Chevelle Malibu SS396 listed for almost $4,500. That's only $100 cheaper than a 1965 396/425 HP Corvette Convertible with 4 speed $4,586

The 1963 to 1975 Corvettes were the only American cars made where the convertible cost less than the coupe. The smallest difference in price was 1963: $1.00. The largest: 1970 @ $343.00

Normally I don't like White cars. IMO - choosing White as a car color is ducking out of the decision as to what color to choose. But I really love the 1970 GSX in White. Personally, I have owned one White Car: 1975 Gran Torino - Triple White. The only reason I bought it was because one of the Ford dealers I worked with when I was at Ford Motor Credit owed me a big favor (instead of repossessing one of his buyer's cars, I convinced my boss to do a rewrite) so he sold me the car at below dealer cost.

Did you know . . .

The Challenger and the Barracuda are not the same size. The Challenger was longer at 191.3 inches to the Barracuda's 186.7 inches, and wider at 76.1 inches to the Barracuda's 74.7 inches and had a wheelbase of 110 inches compared to 108 for the Barracuda.

Just an OBTW . . . in 1970 the Challenger (all models) outsold the Barracuda (all models) by over 27,500 units (83,012 versus 55,508)

The 1970 Challenger had for the first time ever a car company's name on the reverse/backup lens. Originally there was great concern at Dodge that by doing so it wouldn't meet State Lighting Standards - but it did. There were no laws that prevented it.

If you are looking for a car to purchase, you may want to checkout Bring A Trailer as opposed to FleaBay. They have some really good deals like this Cougar.

No. Mexico only. The cars were actually built in Mexico for the Mexican market only. No export. All had the 289-2V and 3 speed manual

Worried about UFOs? If you don’t want to leave Earth without some security, pick up a policy from the UFO Abduction Insurance Co. The company accepts all pre-existing conditions, and you can’t be turned down. This unique insurance company also offers $10 million in coverage in the event that aliens abduct you.

Did you know . . .

The first Muscle Car to be offered with Power Front Disc Brakes was the 1965 K Code Mustang.

That's about 2 years ahead of the other OEMs. Most started offering PFDB in 1967
