I am a little confused because the heads look to be the later style without the plugs on the end but the car's engine looks to be a 1968 build date. Am I wrong with the information that the later style heads were introduced in June 1969? Beautiful car either way.

If the 6/68 intake is correct for the motor, the heads would be too late.Then again ive seen 842s with the plug milled off and filled smooth,but you would think on this particular car theyd want to get that detail right. What an unbelievable color combination.

-----This seller also has a 67 SS427 convert for sale, and I believe I have seen both cars at B/J within the last two years. Sort of gives you an idea how much the guy must have in them. They both had a very nice appearance but I didnt look any deeper than that.......Bill S

Thats my old car that I bought it from the original owner hense the Delaware license plate. Its 100% real. The head on one side was changed under warranty. It was the son of the dealerships demo for the spring and summer of 69. I'm not pleased with the resto as they overdid alot of markings and it sits 4 wheel drive , but a very nice car. It was sold at Mecum last fall. I sold it to pursue the Red L-89 4spd conv thats now at Supercar being done.

This car has been on ebay 3 or 4 times now....sooner or later he's going to finally realize that it's just not worth that kind of money. Just my .02 cents.

Didn't it break 200k at Mecum? What should it be worth in todays market?

That's okay...Bruce is about ready to KILL Cox Cable...as they can't seem to get his high speed internet to be high speed at all.

I'm lucky to be able to get on the net at home...

Anyone want to pay them a visit at their corporate headquaters in Atlanta for me? It's at 6205 Peachtree Dunwoody Road... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

It's all yours Dan! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I saw where the car was located .. saw the photo and recognized it. I was just in the home where the car lives. I know Charley will recognize the sellers name. I would assume if this seller restored the car it was done by Mark Shwartz at Campbell Auto Restorations.

It had hit everything but the Lottery !!! I'll post the as found pictures !!!! It was restored by Thortons the Olds guys out of Telford Pa. 5 years ago. Low mile car that was parked in 76. REAL REAL Real!!!. I thought it sold for @ 300 at Mecum not shure of the final price.

I thought that was the car that Thornton restored. Saw it in there many times, for a couple years. I think they first tried to sell it at Atlantic City a couple years back. All those guys talked about was how real this car was. I also think if I remember correctly most of the parts are either NOS or original. Nice car either way in my opinion. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
