A SUPER STORY! Original owner car in it's original owner's hands still... WOW! LOVE that 4 speed... Great video Chuck! Hope fully you will do that work for him, and I will get to see more of it! I am presently working on a 65 Coronet 500 with just 78,000 miles. My friend purchased it in the late '80's. He has only added about 5,000 of those miles... Yet it has been plated, insured, and driven EVERYONE of these years. Do the math! It still has the original black vinyl top! And 100% of the original black bucket seat interior! Carpets, headliner, and upholstery, ALL original 1965! With ONLY the drivers bucket seat showing a few splits. It is an amazing car... I will email you some pictures. Later, Frank Parks at Mopar Restos.
Brother I love the old cornets I would love to have one brings back a lot of memories of my dad he had a white 65 318 poly bought it new had 5 miles on it thanks for the memories brother great job 👍
Funny you mentioned standing on the seat as a kid. Growing up, my Grandpa had Oldsmobiles, Delta 88's and a couple '98 Regencys. I remember using the split arm rest in the front seat as a booster seat so I could see over the dash. The thought of there being no seat back never crossed anyone's mind......didn't even need a seat belt, thanks to Gramp's right arm.....😂. Ah the good ol' days.
Stepping up the content, Chuck. Thanks! Well, it's readily apparent what a sweetheart Arlyn's car is. Gorgeous, man - even has a little bit of chop to her as well. 🙂 Wife and I just got back from town (cruise in night) with Fred, of course displaying your HOM decal on the back window. If they ask, they get informed. 🙂 - Ed on the Ridge
Me either, I had a '65 Satellite that had a lot of the original spatter paint in it. Nobody makes anything that's very close since ours has some blue, black and gray spatter in it. I'll probably hit it with a gray and then some type of GM spatter paint.
Sometimes the overheating problems on old cars is corrosion/rust build-up inside the engine block. The water passages get restricted and or plugged-up.

Hey Frank, yeah I'd love to see some pictures. It's still amazes me when these cars surface in such good shape.
Thanks

That's a pretty cool story.

Yeah, and let's not forget sleeping on the floor either. Car seats weren't in anyone's vocabulary back then.
Beautiful car and I like the little extra blackout on the grill. The 65 Plymouth and Dodges did like showing their brace faces loud and proud lol.
I agree with you on the black out. It has a floating grill look to it now. I blacked out the grill on my '67.

Thanks Ed, glad you got Fred out for a rip. I think that I'm going to take the Cuda out today. Gotta enjoy all of the hard work once in a while.
That’s a really nice car and Arlyn seems like a really good guy.
Yeah, Arlyn is a really good guy. Plus he has a nice old Dodge.
Wonderful to have a good reference. I can't wait to see how you are going to speckel your trunk.

That a good looking car.
Hey Bob, yes it sure is. He drives it all of the time too.
Great video, what a treat!! the car is amazing
Thanks Max I couldn't agree more!
Beautiful 65 😳 !!!!
Yes it certainly is.
Sometimes the overheating problems on old cars is corrosion/rust build-up inside the engine block. The water passages get restricted and or plugged-up.
Yeah, that very well could be the case. Arlyn did have the motor rebuilt, I would think that block was hot tanked but who knows.
Cool, enjoyed it
Sure thing, it's a cool story.
Very very nice car /////////////////////////////
It sure is Kip.
Thanks
Just found a 65 sedan 440. Thinking of getting it. Low miles.
Nice, let us know
Beauty 😍!!!
It's a nice car
Nice car ! My '65 is the same car but with buckets & A/C. What size big block is in Arlyn's car ?
Arlyn ordered it with a 383.
What year did Chrysler introduce the 440 Cid engine?
Hey Blair, it was 1967
