@uniqueclassiccars – yes, aware there werent converters in 65, this car has a MODERN drivetrain in it, thats why it was noted. ...
I get that. I guess my frame of reference is state vehicle inspections only going by car make & model. No one who doesn't HAVE to have one would want one. But you didn't respond to the rest. I LOVE this car (well, not those wheels so much) but I'm held back by the things that don't make sense. Obviously a lot of money went into the engine swap while easy repairs and maintenance were completely ignored. I keep thinking 'track car' - and that means wear and abuse beyond a daily driver.
@DannnyInNJ – BTW there WERENT cat converters in '65. ...

@DannnyInNJ – Was there an issue with the previous owner that the car has SO many issues that were ignored? Did he not want to maintain the car - ? Did he use it as a track car?? We're the features a casualty of the engine swap? This car is a beauty but there is something missing from the story. ...
