Yes it is, 327 power glide...53,000 original miles, second owner. It has a very rare stereo option. Can't remember what its called but it very nice sounding for it age. There are extra speakers at the floor and in the back dash...under the dash controls for them all...all Delco electronics.

Sweet! I always thought the '65s - '68s were some of the best looking cars Chevy ever designed (beyond the tri-fives).

It probably has the "Reverbasonic" stereo option. I know my dad still has one that he took out of his' old Chevy. :)

Thanks, its not our mainstay but it is fun. I enjoy the older cars and the rare cars. The people who own them understand that stuff happens and sometimes things don't go the right way.

I love the cyclones and typhoons. I always wanted to put a factory looking turbo in my '90 awd gmc safari. My thought was to make the never factory built (but should have been) gmc tsunami.

That was actually my Mother in Law's car and then my wife's 16th birthday present...she (being a teenaged girl) had mom sell it to get her a new (at the time) GEO TRACKER!!!! Its now owned by friend's of the family and we are in line first to buy it when and if they wish to sell it.

That reverb makes the radio have an echo effect, sounds like in a concert hall, had it in my 65 chevelle and when I sold that I took out to put in my 64 SS, still on the shelf in my garage, havnn't thought about it in years. maybe I should clean my garage to figure what I have? LOL

Be very careful what you wish for.... the front diff and transfer case are time bombs at this level. I'd stop at around 500...they are still gonna break but they'll last longer than this one does!

Tell him sure thing and when the last payment is done you can pick up the car... He'll either ***** the money he owes if he wants immediately or pick up when paid off & you avoided being shafted!
