Good sturdy old car. You can't really beat that engine/trans combo. But it'll suck gas like a shop vac hose in a cup of coffee and it probably won't start when it's hot.

Does the 60 Chrysler have that cool backlit instrument dome like the 61 does?

I know the 1960 Chryslers had a dash display that was called the "AstraDome". I think it was the same from 1960-62. Here's a pic of one from a 300F...
It is a neat looking piece, but I've never seen one that was lit up.

Hmmm.... a '65 Convertible but only a 327 engine. Not sure there's a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, although there may be a pot of sorts.
So you restore it completely and it's worth what....maybe $60,000? What's it going to take to get you there? Well aside from a new frame and body I mean.
I'd say sell the VIN tags and the powertrain and those pricey little bits, and the rest goes into a wood chipper. That's obviously what the bids are about right now.

I'm guessing the VIN tags are worth the money in here.

Oh yeah definitely. Or if someone needs a date-correct motor, trans, and diff, even if they have their own VIN tag. You can always deck the motor and re-stamp the VIN to your new car, but faking casting numbers and date codes is a lot harder.

Whatever it is, it looks like a hopeless pile of junk and a waste of time.
