I could suggest you go to <http://www.vtr.org/Herald/Herald-history.html>, or
I could tell you that, officially, 679 Sports 6 models, all convertibles,
were sold in the United States. FWIW, your car isn't really a '65, as it
likely was built sometime well before, possibly even in calendar year 1963
for original sale as a 1963 or 1964 model. I'd have to look it up again to be
sure. But it apparently also has one of those "STC 65" plates, so it probably
languished at a dealer or distributor for some time when new.
So, what are your plans? Restore to original, I hope? :-)
