Finally got off my A** and got some pic's to share with you all. R65_442 is an unrestored survivor. 110,000 original miles. I'm the 2nd owner. It's had one re-paint and looks great from about 20 feet away. Any closer and the blemishes start showing. Original numbers matching 400 BBO motor with Protecto Plate. 2 speed JetAway. It has some rust issues which have only been treated with some great Eastwood stuff. It needs a full resto, but money & my age won't see that happening anytime soon.

I've done some work on it in the year and a half I've had it. Radiator re-core, front end rebuild, Flowmaster exhaust, wheels & tires, 1" lift front & rear, Gas-Adjust shocks, got all the exterior & interior lights working, Street Demon 625 carb which allowed me to retain the stock intake. It runs & drives great!!

Just got a 2nd in class award for 60-69 stock.

1957 Chevy 210
1965 Olds 442 Convertible (2nd Owner)
The other 3 just don't matter!
