Re: Gettysburg Continued

Intersting history on the '65.
The owner said he is going to write an article for the restorer.
It may be worth waiting for.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Mike, I remember seeing a black/blue 65 fuel convertible at Bloomington Gold in 03. I wonder if it's the same car? At that time it had a blue soft top and side exhaust.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Rich, did the late Don Soranno own the white/red 435 convertible you are referring to. I remember him telling about a car just like it that he owned.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Steve,

yes Don was a very good friend and customer of mine and I finished that car for him a year before his untimley passing. I had 2 others of his car in the shop also Chip Millers old Black Black 435 67 coupe and a 67 marina blue/white 435 roadster.

Still miss him he would call and BS vettes 4-5 times a week.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Were the wheels painted black between the fins? I does'nt look like it in the picture (maybe its the angle). I thought that 65-66 knock-offs were black between the fins.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Hi Steve
He may have said the car had sidepipes at one time, nothing about the top.
I thought he said he has had the car for many years and just recently finished it. Don't believe it would have been available for the 2003 campaign.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Thanks Alan!!

I lost all my restoration pictures of this car last year when one of my computers crashed. I spoke to the new owner on the phone a few times (Seems like a real nice guy who loves the car).

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Hey Don,

your right your car has sidepipes The one I did had N-11. The new owners name is also Don, Don Nowlan (not sure of the spelling). Nice looking car. The car I did had A-31, N-40, J-50, leather, headrests, speed warning, N-11, bolt ons, redlines, tinted windows, 435, K-66 M-21 3;70 posi and I think it had Tel. All factory options as per original tank sticker and GM of Canida docs.

Re: Gettysburg Continued

Now that the pictures are posted here is the car I did several years ago. The gentelman in the picture must be the new owner. I have talked to him several times but never met. Real nice guy and the car still looks not too bad.
