Hello everyone. I'm new here in the hope that I can get help with my little project. I just acquired a 1967 Convertible with a small block 327, 300 HP. It's almost a survivor with 89,000 miles. I say almost because it has been repainted, but fortunately the correct color. We used to ride motorcycles, but decided four wheels could be just as much fun. We live in the Texas Hill Country, where there is no shortage of great small roads and good weather 9-10 months out of the year.
I look forward to being a part of the forum

Many years ago had a car with 327 4bbl carb and true duel exhaust. That motor really had some power. Enjoy your new ride.
