A mirror has been mounted in the center of the firewall to simulate the ignition shielding that would normally be found on a stock midyear engine, and a Dewitts aluminum radiator and electric fans ensure that this LS7 stays nice and cool. The Jamison tube chassis is powdercoated in Red, and features C4 suspension with chrome adjustable Carrera coil-over shocks and C4 brakes, which are fed by a Wilwood master cylinder.

States 1965 but he says "1967?"

Yeah, the owner likes to think of it as a '67 since the body has been changed to look like a '67. However, the VIN corresponds to a 1965, and the car is titled as a 1965. Generally the '67's are considered to be more desirable and more valuable than a '65.
