Hey there, just picked up this guy to replace my black one. Hopefully this one will need less time and money to restore:)

Thanks. Yeah, I spent like 5 months on collecting those:)) Two separate pairs. Pair of Superior Super Drag 1 and pair on no name ones.

1-piece aluminum 5-slots. I've forgotten how much I liked them.

I like everything about it! the wheels, the colour and even, yes, the lack of CS trim.

Congrats!

Thanks. It's going to take years to collect those stainless and chrome trims either way:)

Yup, seems it was some show car back in the days, hence glitter paint. There are some weird colors on the interior but it's an easy fix.

I really like how clean it looks without the side trim on the 2 door HT, like you'd see on a Strato. All I might do is add some nice polished wheelwell mouldings.

No offence to the 65 guys (I was one), but when you look at that clean unadorned lower bodyline shape, it's almost like the wide chrome strip was a last minute change demanded by some big GM guy outside of styling.

The more great looking hard tops I see, the more I want one and not a convertible.

I was torn between convertible (which are harder to find) and hard top as well. For some reason I thought if it's a classic and will be driven only summers it should be convertible. But when the top is up on convertible it's silhouette and rear windows shape doesn't look as nice as hard top to me personally (65-66 hardtop silhouettes look phenomenal to me). And also all those dangerous looking metal bars and mechanisms inside...
On the other hand is driving or even getting inside of no AC hard top at +35° heat should be fun. However it can be solved by installing aftermarket AC.

I have a suggestion. Do up a story and pictures for the top of the page so it can be featured now.

A few years down the road when you have changed it into the car you want, ask Todd to feature it again.

 Regarding the red one or the black one?:)

 Thanks. Yeah, I noticed the antenna:) It seems to be a common issue. 

On that note... Does anyone have any recommendations for FM antenna that fits the hole and is not 2 meters long? I'm planning to send the radio for adding FM, Bluetooth etc.

 Sorry, I should have been clearer on that. The red one.

As far as an antenna, if it were me, I'd just go with a 1965 telescopic AM antenna.

If you are getting a 1965 AM radio converted into FM, bluetooth, etc it's likely that new receiver won't be as fussy as to the whip length.

 

The one issue would be actually finding a decent 65 Canadian B body Pontiac antenna. The base is unique to 1965.

 I can do that, sure. Once the car is back from a shop and it's not pouring rain......in BC:))

However I have this car for like 3 days, haven't fixed much, so not a long story yet:)

 I'm not super concerned regarding to the original look of the antenna, either way it's a chrome rod. More about the function and durability. Also I remember on my 1994 Accord there was a similar 1m long antenna, that was something I had to replace maybe once a year:)

Wow, I can't believe how hard it is to find one without that ugly spring at the base of the mast. 

I poked around online and the only good one I could find that would fit well and work nice is in Australia. 

Surely someone in North America must sell one like this-
