Congrats on getting it back together and running. Please tell us more about the stolen and recover. Did the thief take apart or? Were you able to get all the parts back? What the car abandon after stolen? Sounds like a good ending story.
Thanks for sharing

I'm sorry but I just can't imagine being a kid with a '65 GT350 as the family car.
In '73 I lent my '68 GT350 to my Mom to use while she was waiting for her new Pinto to be built and delivered.
The stories she told me while driving the car were just a little disturbing.
I hope she didn't pick up guys driving it? Now that's really a disturbing thought?
My Dad's car was a '65 Falcon SW. Look what that has done to me? Yikes!

How much fun would that be? My dad was into station wagons for mom and $50 go to work beaters for himself.
A guy in COCOA Bruce Berger was the original owner of a 65 #20 if I remember. He had 2 daughters and ended up painting the car beige because the girls would always get stopped.
