The wrong hands would've added A/C.. disc brakes and a blue tooth radio to this car...

Untouched original cars are far and few between these days with everyone feeling the need to modernize them.

Saw a youtube short about how Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks's estate Pickfaire was torn down by Pia Zadora and her foreign husband of the moment because it didn't suit her tastes. A total classic, historical landmark, razed by an ugly, tacky, selfish, temporary person. This stuff drives me crazy, as a history buff. Rant over. Your car looks GREAT.

If the wheels hadn't been on the car since the late 60's... I wouldn't have put them on. The patina on the wheels matches the patina on the car.

I sent Grant a pic and told him to forward it to the original owner.

Some people don't have an appreciation for history... I don't have much appreciation or respect for modern things...

Great score.
Is the color of the car Champagne ?

I did notice the smog equipment, obviously a Fremont car.
Surprised after all these years that is still on the car.
IIRC, California cars had the smog equip starting in '66.

The reason I asked about the color, is my '67 is Champagne, and I have only seen a handful in that color. Mine is Champagne/Parchment(Pontiac Plant)

Very happy you were able to get this car into your collection

Have fun.

It was a pleasure meeting you during that event and thank you for letting me check out your car---and blowing my mind! So glad to see that you are obviously the 'right' person for the custodianship of this historic car. Glad that rain didn't last long!

Sorry for the delayed response. It was very nice meeting you too. Hopefully we can make it to next years show. Let me know if you are ever up this way... maybe we can grab lunch and talk GTO's.
