Most glaring one (though might be the photo angles) is "where is the 
differential dipstick ?" I see the PG and oil dipsticks but a 65 should 
also have the differential dipstick that was dropped for 66 & later. This 
makes me wonder about the provenance of the drivetrain particularly when 
part of the price is for "Original".

Also, having grown up on the Florida coast, you need to look for signs of 
high rust (window moldings and such) from salt spray rather than the low 
rust (floors) you find in the north. Now this is usually not as bad for the 
Gulf coast but you still need to look in different places suc as under the 
dash.

Personally, I would never buy a Florida coast car without careful 
inspection. Turned down quite a few in the search for my convertible but 
then I had much less to spend.
