Brent...that be my son bought this 68 in July 2011
Non #s matching, block dates to 69, 4 speed, 3.55 rear,supposedly Endura delete,
P.O. lost the paper work from PHS

It's was a driver but I talked him into putting it on a trailer for the 400 mile trip home over the Cascades from Eastern Wa..... luckily he had the trailer cause he no sooner then bought it and the tranny got locked up in first loading it on the trailer...he was told car had new clutch and Munchie shifter.




Demolition started in Oct. of 2011. I told him he would be driving it by the the following summer...as you can guess we didn't make that dead line




It looked like the car was a older resto...albeit not a good resto. Paint was blistering over the entire car, l front corner was tagged pretty good after the poor restoration.
L front frame rail was swung just enough to make alignment of body panels impossible.

Besides all that the car was pretty much complete and fairly solid.
It had some rust in the back window, lower front fenders and around the rear wheel arches on the quarters.
Floors and windshield where solid...all and all not a bad foundation to start with.

We had the drive train pulled and towed the car to my auto body shop for the frame repair. My shop was closed for 3 days for new years, as the date shows that's how we spent celebrating the New Year


We brought the car back to my shop at home after fixing the frame, we did the majority of the rebuild in my shop at home
We had the hood, fenders,trunk and doors blasted
Hood didn't survive the process. We opted for a repop hood
We shot BASF epoxy primer on the panels prior to body work.
