Sold new at Glenn Runyan Inc. in Saint Albans, West Virginia. Title was a 1987 West Virginia title when I got it. Maybe spent some time in Canada but I am betting it was in WV all it's life.

Boss- what is the build date on your Framingham 69 with the tan body caulking?

That was the April 71 Castillian Bronze car I had John.

Just spoke to Jon and he agrees the plugs should be galvanized. The body shop put those in before Jon even got the car to assemble. Looks like I may have to redo those. I still think the caulk was green though (at least on 69's)

My '69 GTO is an early Baltimore build and has spent it's entire life within 50 miles of the plant. I am second owner. Not sure but I may still have some original plugs with caulk around here and will look, if that helps.

John your car is looking great....looks solid! Quick quesion about the shifter cutout. Did the factory leave a small tab of sheet metal on the right side?

Arrow Light at end of tunnel

Really close now. Final assembly is done. A couple paint chips are being addressed back at my body shop and a final buff. Luckily the paint blend went well. Carb was not quite right, getting looked at again.

Really happy with the interior. Wheels and tires were drivers I had laying around. The correct JA's are painted, just need rubber. Trying to decide if I go blackwalls (per PHS) or spring for redline radials.

My son jumped behind the wheel first thing when we pulled up to the shop. Looks like he is coming around
