I brought my brother's 67 home last night and here is my picture thread. My sister in law and I came to an agreement and it is now mine. Wife isn't overly thrilled right now and I have to wait at least a year before I can start bringing the car back to life. I've waited 26 years for it and have wanted the car since he bought in 1978. As many of you know, I was the last one to drive it in 1986 and it has sat since. I know I could have bought one running probably cheaper in the long run, but my 21 year old really wanted this car. His face lit up when I got in late last night and was nothing but smiles as we gave her a bath, did a quick compound job by hand and got all the leaves and rotten carpet out of the interior. He then jumped in the driver seat and spent 20 minutes learning the gear pattern and clutch. Of course he had to adjust the mirrors. Some of the questions were comical to me. What are these orange things on the front, what is this sliding knob on the inside of the door, why are there two turn handles on the door, where is the passenger side rear view mirror, why is this car so low, why do I need a lighter and were the push buttons on the radio high tech back then? I plan on dropping the tank just for curiosity sake to see if the build paper is there. I'm sure it isn't, but who knows. I don't think he dropped the tank because if I remember correctly, when tank had a leak, he just epoxied the crap out of the bottom. I'm going to fog the cylinders as they appear to fairly clean amazingly enough before she goes back into hibernation. When I was going through the stuff in his garage, I think I threw the spare tire cover bolts and square flange piece in the metal recycling we took to the scrap yard having no clue what they were at the time. I do have some manuals, holley carbs and a brand new edlebrock intake still in the plastic. Couldn't find the other 3 center caps or most importantly, the keys. Going back up to his house in several week to clean out a storage unit and hopefully will find the missing items.

If I decoded the vin correctly, the car was made on December 6, 1966. The engine pad is smooth. When he bought the car we didn't see him for three days and didn't know he bought it. He was busying putting the rebuilt engine in to bring it home. Supposedly the 327 was bored 60 over, balance and blue printed. the block casting number is 3858174 and the heads are 3890462 - L306 I think. I believe the intake is from a 72 and the casting number is 6263751. I'm having trouble deciphering the transmission mission numbers as the car is on the ground and it is hard to see. I will post some pics. I deciphered part of the trim tag but not sure on some of the letters. My son would like to start now getting her back up to shape, but is completely happy we have it and it is not going away. I have ideas what I want to do, but I am sure that will change as I keep seeing the stuff you guys do around here.

Just for giggles, check out those tire. Found the receipt where bought them in 84. For you younger people, JC Penney did have auto service centers at one time. Now, on to pictures. The first couple are for Kerrmudgeon since he likes barn finds. I would call this more of a hoarder find.
