That is nice! Dependable simple engineering, with lots of life left in it from the look of her. You wouldn't pass anybody but you could pretty much fix anything on it with a crescent wrench and a screwdriver. A cool car you could drive across the country for 3500.00. Seems like a bargain to me.

I agree, slow and dependable. so much room under the hood with the inline6 you can darn near climb in beside the engine to change the fuel &water pump,alternator, carb or just about anything. Nice looking body and interior.
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
I really like the car, as it has been said what a sleeper with a big block. I have an old 68 pontiac with a 427. She is not cost effective to restore. But this 65 strato chief sure makes one think lol. Please don't hate me saying that, just an old mans mind wandering. lol
