I see tons of 66 Slicks for sale, but few 65s.
Why is that?

Re: 65 or 66
This is just a W.A.G., but I have gotten the idea from some long forgotten source that the 66's were a much more popular model than the 65's (and maybe more sold?), although I personally prefer the 65 grill. Haven't looked at the production figures, but as I said that's a W.A.G. Or, maybe many of the 65's have 66 grills?

Re: 65 or 66

Re: 65 or 66
IIRC the 66 had the highest prodution numbers, by a long shot.
So good lookin' that I've attracted an international stalker.
