$115 each? Your call, but is the rest of the chassis up to that level? I paid about that much for TWO KYB shocks for my 67 Delta (which uses the same shocks as your 65).

Be aware that every aftermarket shock vendor shows the same front shocks for the 65-70 full size cars as are on the 64-67 A-body cars. THEY ARE WRONG! Read this thread for photos of the differences. Unfortunately, i don't think anyone sells the correct front shocks for these cars anymore.
