New Project
« on: August 10, 2017, 09:34:42 AM »
HOOORAH  as my old Gunney used to hollar.  Just found a 67 390 Fastback 4 speed ridden hard and put away wet.  Not exactly a barn find in that it sat outside a barn for 25 years. 
Previous owner(s) installed  new quarters sometime back, front fenders are cherry, body  is straight, engine frozen but complete carb to pan including rusted out headers,  right side interior is trashed  with major rust as drivers side window was missing.   
But it is complete with entire deluxe interior,deluxe exterior trim, including those added moldings over the rear tailight panel.
Ornerous repair will be the wiring in that someone added a complete battery relay assembly on the Drivers side of the inside fender panel.
Have not dug into that yet but if i have to replace that entire tach dash wire loom  AAAAGHHH!!! thats a major expense.

But as grandpa used to say " If you want to dance, have to pay the polka band"
Will send some pics  as soon as I figure out  how.

What a find!  I love the 67 deluxe interiors, in fact I retrofit my 68 fastback with that interior.  Looking forward to the pics...

Hello gdaddy

Trust me you dont want these  front seats.  Twenty five years  in the outside winter weather?  Besides I'm restoring them along with the rest of the car
