I had one that was Forest Mist with black buckets and no console. AC, power brakes only, Limited Slip rear w/3:42 gears. No power steering, in fact it had a tight ratio steering box that was a very rare option for 65. Three turns lock to lock. Hard as hell to steer going slow but was a great street car.

You sure about the 3.42s? The *Anti-Spin* gear sets for The P and B types that came with the A-bodies went 3.23 to 3.55. 3.42s were a full size ratio.
