I've had that model in built format on display at home for years. Bought it from a fellow that completed it and built a glass case just for displaying that car. Kind of interesting I have the twin now.
Notice the plastic seat covers still on the seats in the pictures? The car was about five days old. He took a roll of shots when new.

OK Tim........does that mean the red / red 66 vert is now going to be for sale?

Jim, I don't know yet. I will have the '66 in San Antonio for Flight judging at the Nationals, though.

-------Tim, Very nice 65. From what I hear a couple of L88s will be missing in San Antonio. Keep your eyes open for roving process-servers as well. Sorry, guys, inside joke that Tim is very likely aware of........Bill S

Great story and beautiful car, Tim

One question, though - I see from the window sticker that the 300 hp 327 was an option??? What was standard, the 250 hp? I would have thought the 300 hp was the base engine in the Vette

Thanks, Guys. The base motor in '65 was the 250 horse. Remember the Road and Track with the red roadster on the cover and the "5 for 65" license plate on it? GM had five 327 engines, 250, 300, 350, 365 and 375. They brought on the 425/396 later on.

Bill, oh yes. I've been to CP's place a few times since the "event". We'll miss those L88's.
