From the E-bay description:

"The car has been modified for racing slicks. It is ready to be painted. There was only made 200 of this car."






As Bugs Bunny would say, What a maroone!!!

Hi,
Nowhere Man posted this ad a couple of days ago.
I just noticed the car has 67 trim rings on it…. could it be a 67 chassis….. and thats why the ad says 67/68??????
Regards,
Alan

I see a possible 68 with a big block oval port and what looks like a Greenwood kit on it. Sad that they didn't just leave it stock. Hard to tell which 427 it is. Really good idea to loose the big block and put in a truck vortex with a auto. It's got a C3 dash and column in it but it just looks weird. Can't tell much about the side pipes either.
