Just bought a '67 today. The good and bad.
Hello All,
This is my first post in the '66 & '67 area (usually the '64 & '65 section). I just bought a '67 HT today. This car was restored in the early 90s somewhere in Moscow ID and parked in a driveway in 1995. It wasn't moved since and has been slowly deteriorating for over 2 decades. It started out as an Aquamarine Turquoise, but was repainted the light blue color.
It's an automatic, without any special options.
First the bad:
-It's been sitting outside in WA State since 1995, hasn't moved an inch. It had 6" of moss and pine needles on it.
-The interior is destroyed.
-Holes in the trunk pan, bad rust in the channel surrounding the windshield and taillight surround.
-Needs a complete restoration.
The good:
-It's a 1 owner car and all the pieces are original, no modifications to the car (other than the stereo).
-It started up after sitting for 24 years!
-I got it for a really good price.
My plan is to take it apart and put it back together in its original color as I did my '64. It's like a barn find, without the barn. Driveway find?
I am sure I will have SO many questions for the '66 & '67 crowd, so thank you!
Respectfully,
Greg
