So, I'll be brief but I found this '67 sitting outside on a driveway like 5 1/2 years ago. Just so happened the homeowner was outside playing with her kids, so I stopped and inquired. Super nice of this young woman, she says my husband will be home shortly and invites me in. We had a great conversation. Husband comes home and says, Yes, the car might be available, we will ask my FIL...Over the next several weeks and several texts messages, they shoot me a number, shame to admit I was not able to gather the amount at the time...Then over the next few months, I drive by while in their neighborhood, the car is gone! I text again and ask if it was sold, but no! Just moved to another location. I guess out of sight out of mind, plus the fact I didn't have the money, kinda gave up....Fast forward 5+ years, to just a few months ago, I really don't recall what reminded me or why I even thought about the car, I texted them asking if the car was still around, to my surprize the answer was yes, and now it really is really to be sold. We texted back and forth, finally last evening we met, and I wrote the check! In preparation for the sale they had it repaired just enough to make it running and driving but left it virtually untouched. It's so original I'm just tickled, as I am the true originality lover! The car is still at their house but paid lock stock and barrel, I'm actually going to drive it home this weekend!!!! So excited I could barely sleep last night!!!

Zeekster, this car cures a life long dream! Since my first ride in a '67 BB with my Uncle Robbie back in '68! It was a rollercoaster experience to a kid. I now have the Mid year, I've always wanted!

You really have too many projects going on now so I wouldn't hold your breath!
And I guess the anchor will sit for another few decades collecting dust, NOT THIS BAD BOY!

More pictures to come!

Thanks all for the thumbs up! Means a lot, really!!

Congrats DR

Looks like it is in good shape to be stored so long. Appears to be complete. Gonna be a nice one. Actually you could just clean it real well and it would be a very nice survivor.

Actually, you may prefer that after you got it cleaned up.

Yup, the paint got hammered over the last five years, it's toast....The interior is awesome, mechanical looks super original, it was hard to get anything from the chassis-pipes block off access, but solid frame, surface rust as you'd expect.
