Gene,
     There were not a whole lot made, but you are right, there does not seem to be much interest in this model. I have a little 1255 and love it. It runs well , is a dependable starter and has an economical engine. I doubt that it will ever be a highly desirable model, however it is a part of Olivers history, I don't think it should just be written off. Does your 1265 have a 4 cylinder engine?
    I guess I would say use it, enjoy it, but if you have to let it go, oh well.....     Repairing the dents and repainting won't get you much more money for it unless it is particularly bad..... besides if you do all that... you might keep it! <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> 
                Glad to hear you enjoyed the 1265,
                                 Cal
