I live in mid Missouri. We fish Mark Twain lake Table Rock,Truman Lake. Plus numerous other smaller lakes. I have a 20 foot pontoon boat and a small bass pro boat that fits in the back of a pickup truck.

Nice. We live on the Highland
chain of lakes here in Cen. TX.
2 blocks and I can drop my Skeeter
in Lake Marble Falls.
Six miles West, we can put in on Lake LBJ.
25 or so miles to the East and Lake Travis.

Belated welcome to you Rick. Nice car. Being too old has nothing to do with it...except when it comes to posting pictures sometimes. Doesn't matter when catching fish, they don't care. Enjoy your ride, looks like a real nice olds.

Thanks You are right when it comes to catching fish. Posting pics is a different animal I found this car on e-bay and the best part it was only 30 miles away from where I live. It is a good driver,needs a few minor things done ,but no great big project.

Does anyone know where I can get a trio set of gauges(alt,water,oil) in an electrical hookup? I am not crazy about bringing an oil line on the inside of the car. Thanks Rick P.S. I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

@ Tru-Blue: Go ahead and send some of that weather my way. Ohio's suffering 30 degrees as usual. -_-

Awesome car! I haven't seen too many of that year, let alone that color. Very cool. And just in case it's yours as well, I'm diggin' the G8. Buddy has one with a V6 and it never ceases to impress!

I found a trio set of Sunpro gauges with a mechanical oil gauge. Then I found a seller with a Sunpro electric gauge for $17.00 shipped with a new sender. Also from the same guy I got a new Sunpro tach. All gauges are a white face . Hopefully they will look good with my white buckets and white **** for the 4 speed. All for less than $100.00 So it just cost me an arm and not my leg

I got the tach in today . Later this week I hope to get the rest of them installed. I will try to take and post some pics.

Very nice car!

I believe I saw this car on ebay several months ago. Am I correct?
If it is the same one I was seriously considering bidding on it. The thing that stopped me was I could not see the car in person or drive it.
It is really a beautiful car. I especially like the color with white interior and a 4 speed.


I'm also thinking of getting the SSI wheels in place of the SSIII that I have.

John Yes it was. The owner was a little weird about me driving his car since I am just a kid at 59 years old. But before I bought it He let me take it out for a drive. All the car has is power brakes. The best part was it was only 30 miles or so away from me. I am cosidering installing power steering and a floor console. It is a blast to drive. Thanks Rick

I had a 67 4-speed C/S a few years ago.
No power steering. It was a blast but
driving around town without P/S is a pain.

I had procured a steering gearbox for a 67, and
don't know if they are the same or not, but I
don't need it. PM me if interested Rick, Adam.
