To the best of my knowledge, the black wrinkle finish rocker arm covers didn't reach production until 1970....earlier cars had chrome covers. So, the orig owner must have changed those out at some point. Not like that is much of a distraction [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Those are the correct valve covers for that car. All the street hemis from 66 to 71 had the black wrinkle finish valve covers. Those are right for that year, as they have the correct style, slide-on, oil cap with the pcv fitting on the passenger side, rear and the slide-on vented oil cap on the driver's side. The 70 and 71 valve covers have a large grommet with a push-in, vent cannister in that position, and ran a stand-alone pcv and a screw-in, oil cap on the driver's side.

Wow, I guess I learned something new today. As a former Hemi-car owner, I thought I was somewhat knowledgeable, but I will certainly defer to your expertise, Steve.

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 

What a great car and story, congrats! Glad that you finally got it after trying all those years.

I consider myself only semi-somewhat knowledgeable. My wife would confirm that fact. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I believe my wife would echo a similar sentiment about me.

Maybe I was thinking of the air cleaners....the 66-68 cars had chrome ones, and the 69 and newer had non-chrome oval ones??? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

We need more Pic's..........Chad....all the way...even cleaning it......

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 

what a cool car. I am curious if it got the same frame reinforcements the gtx got, considering its a 4spd (autos did not get). also the 4spd gtx's for 67 were forced to have front disk brakes and get a dana. I wonder if that rule applied on these rare cars.

valve covers are original, no doubt. don't be suprised if you find orange paint marks on them from painted battery cable laid on them, stuff like that. someone told me about that on my car.

love the color too. thats a keeper.

I'm thinkin it will be a more comfortable Power Tour ride than the Duramax Nova wagon.

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 

I have another little gm gem in the barn going thru her transplant for the power tour next year. I will add air ride just for you

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 

Well today we decided to see if we could get it running. Local guy with hemi knowledge helped me out. He checked valves,pulled dist,cleaned points,added fresh fuel,etc. We had it running in less then 2 hour it runs like a top. Tomorrow I am going to tackle the brakes(just need bleed)

Fantastic find. I'm all over the sleeper look and that thing is the ULTIMATE! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 

Took her out for first drive. Brakes are definitely going to need some more attention(going to need master rebuilt). It was such a cool feeling driving it thru the curvy park like going back in time.

Where in Iowa are you?

Re: Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 

I thought there was a '67 black convertible 426/4sp running around? Maybe through Legendary. I knew the owner at the time as he had a few cars, and I said to him I &quot;thought&quot; it was a '66 as '67 would be the GTX's. He said no, this IS A '67. He had this ,Black on black '67 Hemi - 4sp gold int. car. '70 SS 395/375 convertible Chevelle, red and black. '69 L78- 4sp, bench seat green Nova. Ford Sunliner, and a few others.
