I went and looked at this car last Thursday. It is a 64 3 seat 1500, not a
65. The man that owns the car bought it from an old lady origanal owner that
kept it in her garage.
The good
The car runs absolutely excellent I drove it around his neighborhood, and
the motor was very quite and smooth. The interior is in good condition, and
he has the original owners manual and shop manual. The car has a factory
hardtop, and the body does not show signs of a serious collision.
additionally he has a extra set of hubcaps for the car.
The Bad
Rust, Rust, Rust, the body has bondo all over all the usual rusty places. I
was able to fit two fingers under the passenger fender. There is rust
bubbling up all over the place. The repaint job is earl shieb quality.
Missing the soft top canvas and the front wood bow.
The man bought the car to use as his weekend car, but needs to sell it to
finance a trip to Vietnam. The man who owns the car is named Win and is a
very pleasant person, but extreamly dificult to communicate with we had to
have a translator for some of the conversation. If the car was not so rusty
it would already be in my garage. but unfortunatly this car needs a lot of
metal put back on.
If anyone is interested in it and if I can help in any way let me know.

Subject: Joe Roach finally gets some competition
Hey All
Many of you on the West Coast have had the pleasure of seeing Joe Roach's 65
1500. It is TOTALLY beautiful. The car is restored inside and out. It gets
to the point where they just go ahead and engrave Joe's name on any trophy
for best 1500 trophy at the shows.
Just Kidding Joe.
Well, found this one for sale and in San Diego of all places (Where Joe
lives) and it sure looks nice. Don't know what the interior looks like, but
the exterior looks great.
Maybe Joe will go see it....
