My first Matchbox car was a 68 firebird convertible... green. Loved that toy.

AT 46 yrs old... my son said dad, lets restore a muscle car... firth thing came to mind was that toy car. After two years talking about it we bought a 68 convert 9 months ago. It was a basket case. 10 garbage cans of parts, no engine or tranny and of course no instruction manual. My son and I have never worked on a car before, so this project is as green as you get (no pun intended). On fathersday this year we saw our first 68 vert in live at a show. Made our whole week! We've been putting in 25-30 hours a week on this project. In a few months we'll actually get to drive it for the first time... so, this will be our first experience! Lots to look forward to!

Sheri... our family is from Dickenson and Killdeer.... schmaltz, Schmidts and hartmans!
