Default 1967 Restoration

Just wanted to share some pics of the 1967 vert we recently finished an extensive restoration,on.

The car has a great story.
The owner bought it in 1972, and managed to hold on to it all these years..
After various moves and life changing events the car finaly rested in his garage for the last 20 years, till one day he decided it was time!


The restoration was completed 40 years after he bought it, just about to the day of the 40th anniversary of his purchase!

Look for it at Carlisle this year!!

Enjoy.


As it sat..



Geting into it.



Progress





Done

Nice job. What else is under the plastic besides a couple more Vettes and a 55-56 Chevy?

Hello from a fellow Rhode Ilander!
Your car looks Great!
After owning mine for 13 years, and restoring it on and off during that time I am finally getting it back from the paint shop next week.

Good Luck,
John

Very nice work and a nice color. After breaking it in with some miles, hopefully the springs will settle it down a couple of inches. Dennis

Hi John,
This car resides just outside Providence.

If you ever go up to the Bass Pro-Shop Cruise in Foxboro Ma, you will probably run into the 67!!
