Welcome Ty. A 3 speed manual ragtop has to be fairly rare. We'd love to have it in our registry. Have you purchased the vintage vehicle package from GM Canada yet? This will give you production #'s Todd

Welcome aboard we love pics if you have any

Welcome and that sound like a very rare car. Hope to see some pic's soon.

Welcome here. It's great to have some Americans with our Canadian cars!

WICKED!!! another 65.. welcome to the family...

That's a odd combination with the 3 speed manual. Black on red is a very nice combo. So you are from olympia Washington. I should be close to Olympia for the Monroe swap meet. You must be Brent's friend. Only one 65 Beau in Olympia that I know about. Is it you?
