i have found a 65 fastback for sale for a decent price. i've always wanted one but really dont need it since i have a coupe i'll NEVER get rid of.

my girl is somewhat of a car girl and her dad use to keep a few show cars and would let her drive em at car shows.. it really thrilled her. so i thougt of giving her this 65 and fixing it up for her.. problem is there is only 4 weeks to the wedding and no way for me to restore this thing in 4 weeks. . maybe 4 or 5 months but not weeks. so anyway i'm thinking of something simple....

disk breaks
fresh 289 i just happen to have laying around
c4
stock everything else.
RED paint maybe?
original type rims

my idea is to keep most everything stock and let her drive it to all the carshows around.. maybe even put air conditioning on it.

what do yall think? and NO i dont want to hear any of u GUYS say you would marry me for this car!!!!
