Welcome soupnatzi. I am cheap so I'm not going first on value. A 327 convertible Custom Sport is a nice ride though, most would have been 283s.

Welcome from Morris, Doug!

If you have not been reading on this forum before now, you won't know that the Manitoba group on here usually has 2 or 3 coffee nights a year. We tend to take over a donut shop for an entire evening, and we certainly would like to see you out next time.

I love your car. Wherever did you find that one hiding? Local car?

I love it. I have always loved 65 Custom Sports since I was a 15 year old pumping gas. I had a customer who had a white/black top 65 convert.

nice car looks very clean welcome

would you like to add your car to our list ?

Howdy, nice car! I'd agree with 427 Carl  about the range but if the car is as good as the pictures show I'd  definitely put it at the high end.  Does it have a 4 speed or auto  because a 4 speed will jack it up too. (Ithink)  And if it had been a 409 car....whooo boy! 


Must be a blast to drive with that perky small block!

Great looking car, just love the look of converts with the top up. Nice to see another Winnipeger. Hope to see you at our next coffee meet and greet.

What a pretty little unit! How 'bout some pics of the interior as has been suggested? It always blows me away the amount of chrome gadgetry on the dashboards of this particular year and model. Of course, back then, that's when a car WAS A CAR! Nice scoop!

very sweet , love the color !

wow, thanks for the warm welcome!
i first saw the car 10 years ago. my buddy bought a house and there it was next door. the owner wasn't too interested in selling but if i showed him 10k he said we could talk. well time went by and that car was always on my mind. so i came back to winnipeg a few weeks ago, been working out of town, and heard that the owner had hurt himself and wasn't working, so the car was up for sale. he was asking 15k for it, but because he needed the cash he made a deal with some guy for 7500, but he didn't leave a deposit. so i swooped in!
unfortunately, it's not the original paint, i'm not sure if its been a frame off restore but he said he had painted the floor like the trunk. and the frame has been painted black as well. it all looks really nice but if you look real close you can see a few blems. but only a few.
oh, 2 speed power glide

so, is it in my best interest to leave it as it is. or start searching the country for a 409 and some clutch and brake peddles and make it into a 4 spd.

also how many of these are out there yet?

so far out of 4626 produced
would you like to add your info?
