Cali's new ride!
Well went thru alot of car ads. Porbably 250. And tried like hell for a 68-69 427 but for my budget they're not approacable or ones I saw were on their last legs (frame rusted through, firing on 4 of 8 cylinders etc).

This one started at 18.5K in late Sept, listed at 16.5K and bought today for 12K. I have alot of pics from our forum friend Dewayne (you know who you are and you have a place to stay anytime you come to San Diego) She needs work but is a great candidate. Will post more pics from Dewayne soon.

Congrats! You picked a very good year. :)
Looks like a good buy for $12k. What's the plan? Stock style resto or screaming big block monster? :D

Nice Dave ...
I know you loved the 77 - and it showed in many ways, but ....
I really think you have stepped up a notch with this 68. This vert is going
to be cared for very well.
Congrats :seeya
