68 Convertible 427/390 in NC
Owned by me for 18 years,(since 1999) now selling for $25,000
1968 L-36 convertible, International Blue, I believe L-36 engine, M-20 transmission and 3.36 rear are original to the car.
Car was restored as a driver in the (mid?) 1980s. Paint is a legitimate "5 footer" ie, looks great. If you get closer - 1 or 2 feet - you can see a few cracks and scratches.
Car is not perfect, and many non "original configurations" but is a solid driver. I may drive it to Carlisle next week and put it in the car corral. Drove up 2 years ago (950 mile roundtrip) with no problems at all.
I have pictures in a shared album on Google, because photobucket stopped providing free hosting. Let me know if you can/can't see the pictures.

I am traveling (to see the eclipse) so may not get to check this thread until next week.
I have a hardtop that comes with the car. It is not the car's original hardtop. This one has decent white paint and I did a lousy job of covering it with black vinyl.
Car has Supercomp JetHot coated headers. Original-style exhaust manifolds come with the car.
Why am I selling (who cares?
) During the 18 years of my ownership I have aged 18 years. It's getting too hard for me to work on the car. It used to be fun; Now I ache for 3 days after doing minor work.
