He doesn't want to disclose because it will probably be on the market soon as a running driving car..

Thank you sir! I am happy with what I paid for it & excited to get started on it.

Gary, more pictures will have to wait until after Thanksgiving, I am leaving on a long transport tomorrow & won't be back till the day before. This trip is with the other truck & trailer so I didn't have to unload it.

God Bless
Bill

No, not at all, in fact it will probably replace my 56 Chieftan as the car I take to the shows that have a limit on age. I have had that one for 4 years now. I have others as well. The supercharged XLR-V is too new for some of the shows, my Nova that I have had since 1978 & my Jag convertible are both completely disassembled at the moment. My flipping days are long past.

I was actually shocked that someone would ask what I paid for it!

That manifold is an Edelbrock. I also have an Offenhouser low rise dual quad that came with the 421 engine when I bought it. When I figure out which will work best for me, I will sell the other.


God bless
Bill

Well then I stand corrected in my post, because I assumed he knew you personally to say it would be on the market soon. Good luck with it!

Great car Bill! I have had a few of these cars in the 65 thru 68 years and they are really nice to drive! Hopefully we will see it at the next Norwalk show! I am looking for a 71 thru 72 Lemans vert now! Smaller for me!! Fred
