Mods

Well She’s about as factree as a guy could ever hope for these days times. The only “mods” would be removal of original hubcaps, color matched original steel 14” wheels, new tires with added baby moons & of course the ol Itali-Yan tuneup LOL. Just clicked 64k Miles and is pretty much a survivor with 1 scratch n shoot respray in the original shade of Ivory Gold Mist. Even Still has the optional Heavy-Duty aluminum brake drums in place. I do have plans converting the original 68 hood into a GS version with functional outside air induction through the cowl & I have a correct roof rack for it. Possibly a nasty 455 Buick and 4 speed conversion in the future as well but having a hard time changing anything about the car due to originality.

Build story

Was found hibernating in a carport in 2020 where it had resided in VA since 1972 and was just recently revived after original owner passed away about 20 years ago. The car was driven regularly until then and had been sitting since he passed. Ignition system, fuel system, brakes, lines, carb, wheel bearings, front end rebuild/alignment, all fluids etc changed to get the dust knocked off this ol girl get her back in the wind. Runs and drives beautifully. ( to a guy like me anyway, though most might compare its handling to that of a lumber wagon). LOL
Truly a Time capsule.
