I misspoke earlier. Checking now, it seems I ordered my door seals from Metro, not SoffSeal. My trunk strip I know was SoffSeal, as were my roof rail weatherstrips (entire kit for the convertible...

Jack, I thought the thread here about early synchros determined that only 1st was sync'd, and not the higher gears.

It would be a nice feature for SS one of these days. Beautiful car, nicely optioned, in a truly sweet color scheme. I love the plum interior; so very "1965."

I've always been curious as to how the really big tonneau cover was supposed to be attached to the car. I understand how the "boot" end would be affixed, but what about the sides and the front, up at...

Yeah, I think you'll find that '62 FS Pontiac (US) will interchange, and that's it.
