Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but this car is considered as one of the advanced prototypes... which ought to raise it's significance over other 2 digit cars.

This is definitely an opportunity to acquire a significant car. If I were in the market for a '65 I would take a strong run at this one. Best thing it's not a trailer queen so you could actually drive it!

Does its status as an advanced prototype maybe explain some of the quirks & inconsistencies that have been pointed out, ie: lanyards, pinch weld, wheels, tach, steering wheel, etc.?

Good luck.

Do you not know the answer to most of your own question or is it rhetorical ?

The history of the car is Johm Christy. I would bring it back to how it was when he last owned it. 100 point cars lose all that history.
