F is 1968.

Think the cut off now is 1972.

yeah i used to have a '65 :)


i was planning to do a wizard with it originally but it was around the time wizard went bust. and before the moulds got kicked up by bugzone or whatever they're called.

so i was also gonna go cal look.. repaint in red (it was orange).. slam it on fuchs with a wooden roof rack n all that.. but i couldnt justify pumping so much money into it..

my dream car is a ghia convertible..  :'(
