While barn finds are cool it saddens me that such cars have sat for decades and couldn't be enjoyed the way they were meant to be. Gary

I may have figured out the VIN. Was the name of the owner Tom by any chance? Out of respect for both the seller and buyer I do not want to identify my opinion about what VIN might be.

Not sure of why it should be such a secret, looks like the deal is done.  What am I missing?

Better for the car to hammer on it a bit rather than let it rot.....I want one....

Greg,

Since no VIN was not mentioned or discussed I assumed that they for some reason wanted it to remain private. I have seen that in the past in the Forums. Hopefully someone with direct knowledge will provide the information and the backstory. It is a great find for someone.

i hope owner will clean it and take pictures of everything before restoration,
I hope it doesn't get restored. Clean it and drive it. It looks unmolested just dirty. If the engine is dead rebuild it. I'm tired of seeing a line of 100 point cars. This would be great to see at any show and would actually have a crowd around it all day.

That 65 would be a good stable mate to our 66 & 67.
Somebody got a sweet project.
Congrats!

Someone got a cool 65 project. I too hope that they keep it as original as possible and don't fully restore it.

The '66 has been sold. Actually, I believe, now 2 times since.
