67 c/s
#5
Well it's home safe and sound after my 1000 mile round trip. I'll say it's a 20 footer, needs some TLC. I should have asked more questions like mileage, not that it matters but 180k is a lot. I have the protect-o-plate which is a first for me and I believe the drive train is correct. Still need to verify. All said, glad I got it and look forward to driving it.

I have a friend who got a lot of pictures of that one because he was thinking of a purchase. There were a few things, mostly cosmetic that he did not like. Overall seemed like a nice solid car and unmolested. Glad the trip was OK. It should be a nice cruiser...hey if they are too nice your get afraid to drive em. Good Luck!

Looks like it will be another nice addition to your 67 stable. A 20 footer for a car that's 45 years old is nuthin to worry about. On the right side sail panel, what's causing the vinyl to look bubbled? Bad glue maybe? The body looks stunning, and the color choice/wheels look incredible! Must be in great mechanical to make the 1K trip!

I got it for $6500, reasonable I think. What money I have left over will go towards some emblems and interior items.

It starts up fine, haven't taken it on the road yet. I trailered it with my truck.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned 20 footer, sounds like I'm complaining which I don't mean to.

No worries, it didn't sound like you were complaining. Usually a '20 footer' means - if you get close and start looking for flaws, you'll find them. I'd bet that you meant it looks 'like new' from 20 ft..

Well got the back end up some, used Moog 5377 springs. Same as what I got on the white car. A problem I'll have to work on is the #6 position body mounts are totally shot. The trunk pan is resting on the bushing, the brace with the nut is gone. Eventually will have to replace the trunk pans and most likely the floor pans. Windshield out to repair around frame. This car won't see rain anymore.

I verified that the both front floor pans will need replacing. The #3 body mounts on both sides are totally shot. Not as bad as originally thought.
