Ah, beautiful orphan you have there...congrats on the adoption.
I have a soft spot for GM A bodies...although I'm a chevelle man, I still think that's one of the prettiest A bodies ever made. Nice score! Good luck with her.

i've always loved chevelles too but this was the right price at the right time (just won a longstanding bet) and even though it's not running a 455. it will still do what i need it to.

Is the shop doing body work or just gonna throw some color on it? You can do a lot with some hand tools and body shims, from the pics...looks like they left the shimming for later.

That will be a nice ride in Black. The 65' & 67' GTO are on my short list if I ever win the lottery.
The last old car I had was a 67' Dodge Coronet 500 2dr Ht w/383HP & 4sd. |

Nice!
The good thing about the 350 is that it's like the Ruger 10/22... more aftermarket hop-ups for it than just about any other platform on earth. How's the interior?

interior is ok, door panels are off but it comes with replacements, headliner is drooping a little but it's to be expected for a 40 year old car. leather is cracked on the bucket seats and the rear bench is pristine, no carpet on the floors which is fine for me because i'm going to put the rhino spray bediner stuff on it so i dont have to worry about cigarette burns on carpet or anything like that. i'm going to do alot with it as i learn so prepare to see pics every couple of months

Very nice find!! You'll have to keep us updated on her progress. She's gonna be a beauty when you get it finished.
