Default My new early 65 coupe

Traded for a early 1965 D code 289 coupe this weekend. Not a lot to be done but a few minor issues to address. It has 80,000 original miles or so I was told.

Even though the sticker on the air cleaner says "premium fuel", the D code should be a regular fuel engine, as it was lower comprsssion than the 'real' 65's . I assume the sticker is 'wrong'. But it does look good, Detector!

+1 on a wheel change!

Anyone got a picture of a 65 with magnums for reference?

Thanks

These are styled steel wheels, but mags are close to the same.

EDIT: These are mags
