Big Car guys - here's one for ya !

Well, I made the plunge .....

I bought a '68 Butternut Yellow L72 427/425 Biscayne !! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

I couldn't be happier ! The car isn't a 100% correct concours resto -- nor is it an unmolested survivor ..... but ..... It is an original 18k mile, L72 car. About 60% original paint. Bought originally to race - hence the *DP* coded 12-bolt (4.88) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img] I've got a little bit of underhood detail work to do. I need to swap out the rallye wheels for the steel wheels and buttons, but it is one heckuva clean car. Originally from Sioux Falls - - then to Minnesota in the early '80's - - now to Michigan. What is really unique is the exterior trim package that added brightwork to the door and window frame(s). Kinda neat look to it. Next week when I get a pic of the car with the steel wheels, buttons, and redlines, I'll post an updated pic.

Yeeeeeeeeeeee ha !!

Case, mine had the red foil 427 call out's too.. pretty rare, most were black.
Email me a copy of the window sticker will ya [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
F41 and Z24 cars and Police package combo's got the wheels you have now, I'm 99.9% purty sure. Mine came with 15x7, not the 15x6 as usual. Look at the copies of the original pic's I sent ya of mine. Did you get or find the build sheet yet? Mine had 1 well hidden, and another one easily found.
I've still got some '68 parts stashed, but it's gonna cost ya [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm jealous.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]
