New Guy - Just bought a 65 Fastback

Hey All... I've been using this forum for a while to research the car I've been looking at and I finally managed to get it... at least put some money down to hold it until I can get time to go pick it up. I can't wait until I'm unloading it from my trailer into my garage.

Anyway I have a question that I can't seem to find a firm answer to. I think I know this one, but what color should the block be?

Thanks... that's what I thought. I've seen some references that say they should be blue, but from what I remember from back in the day, they were always black. I haven't been able to check the date codes yet and the seller says there is no VIN stamp on the block which I think there should if it's original. However, I've heard that not all "Jersey" Kars got stamped. Any thoughts on this? An interesting note about this car is that it has a toploader with a San Jose Coupe VIN stamped on it.

Just trying to see if this works... There should be some photos here now, but I'm not sure about this.

Maybe this will work...?

Cool... that worked.

The link in the post above shows a few shots of the car that I took last weekend when I was making the deal on it. It's in Colorado now, but will come home with me in a couple of weeks.

Hey Mark... Cograts on your new fastback. I just checked out the ebay listing. Nice!... I hope it arives safely and that it drives as good as it looks. gotta love the Rangoon Red!
