I have this same suspension package on my 68 Vert with an LS1 engine and it is the best driving and handling of the 5 C3's I have owned. It would make a great Restomod!

Hi

I could do with the very front crossmember 68 only and the 68 wiper motor inclusive the washer pump ( we already spoke about long time ago ) .
Shipping possibly to Huston ( IAH ) , but will have to speak to my colleague there first . Otherwise, shipping to Luxembourg in Europe.

Can't find it.
Last one I sold went to Dr L-88 here on the Forum.
I think he ended up not using it, so you may want to check with him?
