That is one SWEET ride, William. Hang a doublehose from the rearview mirror and it will be perfect.

Oh, it WILL draw attention! No doubt about that! Now that's the way to satisfy a mid-life crisis! Very cool wheels there, William. Congrats.

I know you'll enjoy your new "baby" for years to come. ;D

"Finally, all done,ha,ha!"
Got the Cheetah home, Titled and Registered now. There is a lot to do now when building and titleing a car properly. The state wants the correct sales tax and make sure that you have all receipts and all paperwork required and then they will title your car for you. The only thing is, the car is just plain Scary to drive,ha,ha. With the size of the car & the horse power it has, it feels more like you are sitting in a Roaring Lion than in a "1965 Chevy Cheetah." Still have a good bit of cosmetic work to do, but she is very safe and good to drive now.

Hi. If you traveled around to all the Vintage Equipment Divers Homes, you would most likely find a higher number of sports related equipment, sports cars, fishing & speed boats and such items. The Vintage Equipment Diver is to civilian life much like the Army Ranger or Navy Seal are to the military, as far as the way he thinks. I am proud to say that I am an original Double Hose Regulator Diver of the 1950s & 60s and one of the members here at Vintage Scuba Supply.

The 1965 Chevrolet "Cheetah" is a very small car, very lightweight and has a super low profile so it can go fast with little parasitic drag. The picture shows a refrence to me about its size and height, as I am only 5'6" tall. The factory seating are mounted down low, almost completely on the bottom floor of the car. With 350 HP it can really move. A 308 Rearend gives a very high top end speed and the Transmission's 288 1st gear still gives it a great amount of take off power, spinning the 7 & 1/2" tires extremely easily.
