Here is a real 67 RS/SS 350 Car.
It's in my relatives barn in the Midwest, being stored for the Son of the
Original owner. It was only going to be there for a few weeks.
Well, 7yrs later it is still there and as usual I cannot get the owner on
the phone to talk about the car. The cruddy repaint and stripping
effort makes it look worse than it is, it is still mostly there, what a
shame. |
I am one of the "guilty" folks that
would not sell for years, and made all of the same claims about eventually
restoring the car...since 1980!!! My dedication to the car never
wavered, but my budget situation did not allow for much action until 2002.
I drove the car "as was" until about 1989. Over the intermediate years
I managed to handle some things, such as body mounts, springs, electrical
repairs and purchasing many parts that ended up in the basement.
However, the car sat pretty much disassembled from 1990 through 2002.
I have completely re-fitted and re-finished the sub-frame and front
suspension now. The car is due to go to our local school district's
auto body class early in 2003 for completion of the body work. It will
still be some time, But this car is no longer rotting! Duke |
