Senior ownership! Congratulations on keeping it on the road Dennis
Actually, i returned it to the road after saving it from a a hotrod junkyard where it sat from 1969 to 1974.
This pic is "after" I replaced the LF fender and put a motor and trans in it.

You saved one before it became popular. The car looks great in it's current rebirth. Well done.
When I read your topic heading, "Turned 60 Today" I was feeling pretty old until I read further into the body and realized you were talking about the car, not yourself!! But, after coming to my senses I feel a lot better now!! And congrats on 47 years of ownership!!
My '66 has a birthday this month, I've forgotten exactly which day, but doesn't matter a lot. It'll be 55 years old this month, no spring chicken either! And I will have owned it for 44 years next month. Bought it for $1500 in Corinth, Mississippi from a fellow who had begun to part it out after a front end collision. In addition to the wreck damage, he had sold a single caliper off of the car, the remainder was pretty well all there except for replacement engine, headers, carburetor, etc. I put correct (or period correct" parts back, luckily found some under a house in Vicksburg, Mississippi where I lived where a local guy had chucked them from a previously wrecked Corvette. He offered to give me the parts, manifolds, rocker panels, distributor cover, miscellaneous other parts but I told him I'd hate to take the parts for nothing, they're beginning to be worth something at the Corvette parts swaps around the country at the time. He told me if it would make me feel any better, give him $20, which I did, and still hit a home run in the parts department at the time.

Couldn’t help but notice F/I scripts, was it an original F/I car or did u convert it. U gotta share some under the hood pics:-)... Sweet looking car
In the past, it had a used 307, used 327, then a new over the counter L79 short block from GM (purchased July 1976 with 2.02 Bowtie heads added early 1980s), then the big small block installed 2007.
