Newbie here. '67 old timer
Hi All
I've just become a '67 owner again, for the third time. Guess I am just fixated on this year.
My first was a silver, stick, convertible bought in 1970 for $2,700. My second one was a Marlborough Maroon convertible, stick, with side pipes. Bought about 1985 for $16,000. I sold both for about 2X.
I now am bald, so a convertible is a negative. I now live in TX, so AC is desirable. And my feet can no longer feel pedals, so an auto tranny is best for me.
I just bought this car.

It is a beauty to my eyes, but the enclosed truck driver managed to lose a center wheel starburst in transit. I am extremely unhappy about this and hope to find an acceptable replacement. Still, if I stand on the right side of the car I begin to drool. There is something really special about the 1967s.
