Hey, Terry. Are you sure about a blue one? According to the 1965 order info, you could get any color you wanted as long as it was red, black, or yellow. I worked on a silver one with a black vinyl top at Gordon Thompson Chevrolet in Jacksonville, Florida in 1967. It had a solid cam, don't know which one or if it was original. I didn't know about the paint colors at that time, or I would have checked for a repaint. I understand there was 201 of them...one convertible made for a high level exec. I met a guy that said he owned it and had a picture, but who knows? Hope you are doing well and enjoying retirement.
