That car is actually my dads. It has been in the family since 1978. He saw it in a Newsday ad and bought it from a kid in Seaford for $700! The car was a basketcase with bald tires and typical LI rust. The interesting thing was that it had a 68 Vette tri-power engine in it and the original 427 was upside down in a puddle of oil in the trunk, along with all the comfortron air parts. The trans and rear were original and he drove the car everyday until 1982. The kid he got it from said he bought it from a dentist, and he also said that the car was supposedly sold at Baldwin. The big mystery with this car is the hidden headlights, as everybody says they were only available on Caprice. Besides this car, we also saw one other Tarrytown 68 SS427, a custom coupe, in a PA junkyard, and that car had the hideaway setup. This car was also clearly untouched, and the junkyard owner said he got the car in 1973. I wonder if the paperwork for our car is still out there somewhere https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Anyways, the restoration was completed in 1995, and the car currently has just over 60000 miles on it. It is a great car and a blast to drive! I will get some additional pics posted. Also, if anybody on here has any 64 through 70 fullsize Chevies, my brother and I have a cowltag/vin number database. We get info from car tags, and also junkyard buildsheets and protecto plates from ebay, and we are up to about 6000 cars. We have learned alot about option codes and engine build dates in relation to body build dates, and the meanings of other misc codes on the cowl tags from doing this research. So if anybody has a car from these years, any info you could contribute would be greatly appreciated! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

What kind of stuff was it? I was corresponding with someone a few years ago who sent me some info from a few cars including a 67 SS427 invoice from a dealer called Horlacher &amp; Sherwood Chevrolet in Montrose PA. Somebody had a bunch of invoices from this dealer, but I lost contact with the person. Was this you?

Haha https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif What was the story with those invoices anyways? Do they still exist? I would still defemitley be interested in buying them from whoever had them.

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Yea, they exist, but the seller usually commands $500 each for them. So, unless you actually own the car, it's a bit steep!
